2019-09-03 11:06:44 -0500 marked best answer PTHP system in eQuest Build 7175

eQuest Users,

I started a simple box model in Build 7175 with DoE 2.3 selected and switched the HVAC system to PTHP (all in wizard mode) and got "Illegal Codeword" errors for each system and "terminal type=undefined" for each thermal zone.

All errors go away when I switch back to PSZ heat pump.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

2017-08-15 09:45:22 -0500 marked best answer SketchUp vs OS gui workflow

After a brief search I didn't see a discussion on this. So I was wondering where people usually make the switch from the SketchUp plugin to the OS interface. I'm guessing somewhere after geometry and thermal zones and before HVAC, loads and schedules. Also, do people have a mental bullet point list of items to take care of in SketchUp that will make life hard later on in the modeling if missed?

Thanks! Jacob
