I have assigned all the elevators, stairs, and multistory corridors, and one two story lecture hall in my model an airwall floor. The lecture hall is a two-story segment of the building and the second story has an airwall floor because I clicked "True" for 'Open to below" in the Geometry tab. However, I get the following error message:
* Severe * SetupEnclosuresAndAirBoundaries: Surface="FACE 1501" uses Construction:AirBoundary in a non-interzone surface.
FACE 1501 is the floor of the 5th story corridor. I get similar messages for the rest of the surfaces that are "open to below." I also noticed that some stairs in the model do not receive this error message which makes me think the issue is not related to the Construction:AirBoundary, but the vertices/convexity. I get the following error warning message associated with FACE 1501:
* Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 13 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 14 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 15 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 18 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 19 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 20 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 21 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 26 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501", vertex 27 is colinear with previous and next. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501" has [9] collinear points that have been removed. * Warning * CheckConvexity: Surface="FACE 1501": The vertex points has been reprocessed as Sides = 33
These are some other error messages I get associated with the geometry:
- Severe * GetSurfaceData: There are 2 degenerate surfaces; Degenerate surfaces are those with number of sides < 3. * ~~~ * These surfaces should be deleted. * ~~~ ** For explicit details on each problem surface, use Output:Diagnostics,DisplayExtraWarnings;
* Fatal * GetSurfaceData: Errors discovered, program terminates.
What is the recommended work around for the severe error and warning here? I tried simplifying the geometry early on.
