Another solution is to kill the external model option in the design alternative tab and just make a special measure to do this. A single measure group for a measure called \"Load External Model in place of Current Model\" could have 4-5 instances each with links to a different model. Because Tab 1 gives control of when this occurs we can have it after the fixed measures we don't want but before ones we do one, like the utility measure. The only issue here is putting some thought into how the file the user browses to gets saved internal to the model (in a reasonable workflow that doesn't have them hand moving it). Maybe a special input type called \"Path\" that when it is chosen grabs the file and brings it in similar to what is done with a weather file?.\n\n\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/comments/69481552","html_url":"https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/369#issuecomment-69481552","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/369","id":69481552,"user":{"login":"Matt32258","id":10383403,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10383403?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258","html_url":"https://github.com/Matt32258","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Matt32258/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-11T02:56:55Z","updated_at":"2015-01-11T02:56:55Z","body":"Follow up.
