2016-04-03 17:03:12 -0500 | commented answer | How can I fix "Zone has no surfaces" error in Openstudio? The problem is that you have just deleted the words "Thermal Zone 2" not the Thermal Zone in totality. To do that you need to delete the whole paragraph (as I said earlier). Delete rows 7650 to 7671. Save the file. The error - where you have incorporated data from Thermal Zone 2 into Thermal Zone 1 - will be gone. |

I just ran the intersect/divide tool and sections of internal walls (in between zones) got reformatted into windows and doors when they shouldn't have been... |

2016-03-22 13:55:29 -0500 | commented answer | How can I fix "Zone has no surfaces" error in Openstudio? You're trying to edit the error file itself. You need to edit the actual .OSM file with a text editor |
2016-03-21 13:56:15 -0500 | answered a question | How can I fix "Zone has no surfaces" error in Openstudio? Or you can open the .OSM file with a text editor, look for "Thermal Zone 2" and delete the paragraph that you find it in. Then save and run the simulation again. |

2016-03-10 17:40:58 -0500 | answered a question | Intersect and Divide Causing Wireframe Issue In OpenStudio Plugin Ok, I managed to get the model to intersect and divide after an extensive series of trial and error. I have found in the past that zones within other zones (IE zones that are completely surrounded by another zone) can cause problems and don't really seem to be recognized by OpenStudio. Within the above model was a small stairwell zone which was essentially encapsulated by a larger zone. When I extended the stairwell zone so that one face was outside of the surrounding zone the intersect/divide tool seemed to work seamlessly. This may not be the only factor as I tried just about everything else up to this point but it was the first change I made that got Intersect/Divide to work properly. Some other things that I've learned are important in this instance:

2016-03-10 13:10:14 -0500 | commented answer | Intersect and Divide Causing Wireframe Issue In OpenStudio Plugin This works for the non convex faces issue but, unless those lines correspond with adjacent zone faces I can't see how they make a difference. Can anyone else explain this? Thanks for the feedback adhilton25 |

2016-03-10 08:49:57 -0500 | asked a question | Intersect and Divide Causing Wireframe Issue In OpenStudio Plugin A lot of people will have come across the wireframe mode issue that comes from using the "Intersect and Divide" function of the surface matching tool - there is useful information on it here and here. However, I can't seem to beat this one. Basically the model gets stuck in wireframe mode if I try to use the Intersect and Divide function to allow me to complete surface matching. From this point on all subsequent models that I try to load get stuck in wireframe mode too (even if they were loading fine before). I can fix this by reinstalling OpenStudio 1.10 and reload an old model but as soon as I Intersect and Divide the same issue occurs. Here's what I have tried:
I could re-model the whole thing but without understanding why this is happening I would be asking to face the same issue again right? Here is the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhb1odqsdysrasi/IntersectIssue.osm?dl=0 Any suggestions/help much appreciated but please see what I have already tried (above). Using Sketchup Pro 2016 Windows 7 OpenStudio 1.10 Energy Plus updated to latest version Thanks in advance for any help |
