# Create Typical Building from Model

## Description
Takes a model with space and stub space types, and assigns constructions, schedules, internal loads, hvac, and other loads such as exterior lights and service water heating. The end result is somewhat like a custom protptye model with user geometry, but it may use different HVAC systems.

## Modeler Description
Initially this was intended for stub space types, but it is possible that it will be run on models tha talready have internal loads, schedules, or constructions that should be preserved. Set it up to support addition at later date of bool args to skip specific types of model elements.
