Greetings, Has anyone encountered this error? "GetSurfaceData: InterZone Surface Azimuths do not match as expected." The model had been running. I have no idea what would cause this. Your advise is appreciated. Thank you kindly, Matt
Interzone surfaces transfer heat between zones, and they are described as two mirrored surfaces, one for each zone. So, if you have a wall, for example, in Zone 1 with azimuth 90, then the matching wall in Zone 2 should have an azimuth of 270. This error message should give you more details on the specific surfaces in question, but you may need to add Output:Diagnostics, DisplayExtraWarnings; to see that information.
Thank you to all who responded. This error has been corrected.
I was able to right click and reverse surfaces and the Azimuth problem was corrected. Also, I had surfaces that where a roof/ceiling was mating to a roof ceiling. Changing roof/ceiling to floor for these surfaces fixed the Tilt problem.
Thank you,
Matt
Hi @MattStewart, could you please tell me where did you right click to solve this problem?
Hi all, today I have the same problem but I have solved it. The sequence of the vertexes should be clockwise in the first surface and counter clockwise in the mirrored surface. If you have a surface with four vertexes 1-4, they are for the mirrowed suface the other way round: e.g
I have changed it manually in the osm file. Maybe there is a more elegant way.

Matt, could you let us know which application(s) you are using? Presumably EnergyPlus, but are you using it on its own or within OpenStudio?
I am using it with Open Studio. I have a vaulted ceiling with cavities on either side.
