No longer able to change the Shading Surface type using the Inspector #125

Previous versions of the plugin allowed the user to change the shading surface type using the inspector tool. It now appears greyed out: 2023-08-28

Hey @Ski90Moo are you sure that was allowed in previous versions of the plug-in? That change was made in 2015 to address this issue https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/issues/667. It's ok to change between Site<->Building shading but would cause issues to change from Site<->Space or Building<->Space shading. There is a user script under Alter or Add Model Elements->Change_Shading_Type that was added to handle the case of Site<->Building shading conversions.
