I've observed how plenums are added in the HVAC systems tab for OS. In my model though, I have persistent problems with intersection and surface matching when actually adding plenums to the geometry: there are multiple mis-assigned surfaces, some are lost, and even once the model is repaired visually with no errors reported in Inspect, sometimes a whole new set of problems arise when I re-open the file. Any suggestions on ways/systematic approaches to minimize or eliminate surface intersection and matching problems? I'm careful with making nice orthogonal lines and using the Create Spaces option or New Space before drawing new spaces. Any alternate approaches on plenums, i.e. setting adjacencies properly if not including the plenum geometry in the model?
