I'm working on a multilayer-floor building with thousands of spaces. Here is a screenshot of my model.

Surface matching in SketchUp plugin is not smart enough, manually adjustment can be super huge.

Then I tried surface matching in OpenStutio i.e. apply the ''surface match'' measure, it did work great, but it generate many slashes from surface to surface which is not adjacement. Just like this picture.

Now I'm worry about these slashes damaging the heat transfer process. I only want heat transfer happens in 2 surface which is adjacement. Does my concern make sense? If so, how can I solve the problem?

I tried to delete the slash, but delete some of them will cause surface to be deleted together.

Thanks for your help.

I see the file is 3.3.0, is it the pre or post intersected model. If it is not please share the pre-intersected model

Hi Southeast, I've encountered a similar problem. For a different issue (vertex mismatch error), I was advised here to try using the "Surface Matching Diagnostic" measure which is now also found on the BCL thankfully.

While that post was for a different issue, it has also resolved the weird slashed lines issue I encountered later. Using that instead resulted in proper matching. I realize this is a bit late but hopefully this help if you're still encountering the issue. In my case, I encountered fatal errors and couldn't run a simulation on the model at all.
