Dear colleagues, I am trying to design and study the daylight inside a library. I have been working on the sketch with the OpenStudio Plugin but now a lot of errors and questions are appering:
My building is not perfectly aligned with the North so I set up in the "OS:Building" tab the correct North Axis (258º). Does this mean that I also need to input the same value on the "Direction of the Relative North" of tabs "OS:InteriorPartitionSurfaceGroup" and "OS:ShadingSurfaceGroup"?
Another issue that it is coming up is when I paste a lot of surfaces (around 53000). The building is composed by 3 similar rooms and I designed the first one expecting to copy and paste to get the other two but when I try to paste the following error appears:
"ERROR:
RuntimeError

My objective was to at least have the geometry converted to a Radiance file where I can do the image generation by myself on Radiance. Can someone help me with these issues? Thank you in advance for your time, Best regards, Nuno Saraiva
