Modelling interior operable windows - error with add wind and stack open area

Hi there,

I am modelling a residential building on OpenStudio. I created the geometry in FloorSpace JS on OpenStudio. I am trying to have the interior windows of the building as operable windows that can open and close so I have been attempting to use the 'Add wind and stack open area' measure to do so.

However, when I run the model it always fails as I get the error that 'No windows found in selection matching given construction. This means your model lacks windows or lacks windows with the specified construction.' I have double checked that there are windows in my model with the construction I selected in the measure arguments. I did this by looking in the spaces tab in the subsurfaces section and the construction specified for these interior windows is definitely there and it matches what I specified in the measure.

I have found two other questions about this error on UnMetHours but there does seem to be any suitable answers/solutions so I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with this error?

Thanks!
