Revision history [back]

I am trying to model windows in EnergyPlus. I have edited the IDF in SketchUp to detail the building and window design. I get the following IDF Parsing Error (shown in picture) for all 8 window surfaces when I try to open the IDF in the IDF Editor. I have checked that all have a semi-colon after the last vertex definition.

I have also run into this severe error to check the tilt of the window. I created the windows in SketchUp, on the base surface within the EnergyPlus Zone.

Any help to sort out this error is greatly appreciated!
