A OS:WaterUseEquipment object in OpenStudioApp 1.7.0 has a "Space Name" field under HVAC -> Service Hot Water -> Water Use Connection -> Water Use Equipment. Yet, the OpenStudio 3.7.0 WaterUseEquipment class does not seem to have a method to assign a Space to a WaterUseEquipment. So, for now, I suppose this has to be done manually in OpenStudioApp 1.7.0? Am I missing something?
Hi @mattkoch. The WaterUseEquipment class inherits from the more general SpaceItem class.
... which offers methods like space, setSpace and resetSpace. Although classes have had functionality expanded over the years, the inheritance diagram remains +/- the same. In Ruby, this would look something like:
require 'openstudio'
model = OpenStudio::Model::Model.new
space = OpenStudio::Model::Space.new(model)
wue_def = OpenStudio::Model::WaterUseEquipmentDefinition.new(model)
equip = OpenStudio::Model::WaterUseEquipment.new(wue_def)
equip.setSpace(space)

When you look at the SDK documentation for an object, you can click the button "List of all members"
Eg: here is the SDK documentation for WaterUseEquipment
This will take you to this page WaterUseEquipment Member List where you'll find all members, including inherited methods.

Thank you for your very fast answers below! Much appreciated and certainly 100% on target.
For People, Lights and ElectricEquipment, there is a Detailed Description which references SpaceLoadinstance -> SpaceLoad -> SpaceItem -> setSpace(). For WaterUseEquipment, Detailed Description only references ModelObject, and that is what threw me off -> "Inheritance diagram for openstudio::model::WaterUseEquipment", duh!
I had never made use of "List of all members" but am very grateful for the hint here and will make more use of this in the future to preempt having to ask questions such as mine!
