Has anyone encountered and resolved the error pictured below, when using FloorspaceJS in the OpenStudio interface? It occurs after I add a floor multiplier and merge with the OSM. The message itself doesn't offer much insight - is it literal? Am I simply not giving it enough time to apply the multiplier to the geometry?

Additionally, once the multiplier is used, are all floors visible in the the editor window? I've not actually seen it functioning correctly yet.

Thanks

It is literal: the Space multiplier feature isn't yet implemented in floorspaceJS.

Cf: ThreeJSReverseTranslator.cpp#L305

The Space multiplier is tough, because rendering it correctly is hard (you cannot place the multiplied spaces on a 3D drawing).

The BuildingStory multiplier should be easier, but I also don't think it's currently supported, cf OpenStudio issue #2913
