[Equest-users] space has no ZONE - one is required

[Steven Savich]

James,

 

You'll need to edit the .inp file instead of the .bdl file.  The .bdl file
is generated from the .inp & .pd2 files, and changes made to it will be
discarded every time you save the project.

 

You'll need to create a new zone and reference the space in question either
from the .inp file or the equest interface.

Subject: [Equest-users] space has no ZONE - one is required

 

All,

 

On the baseline model for a project, I continue to get the following error
despite several attempts to remedy: SPACE E13 NNW Perim Spc (M.NNW51) has no
ZONE - one is required.

My attempts to fix it have included:

*	trying to locate a ZONE definition within the program - unsuccessful
*	directly editing the BDL file by pasting a missing section from the
Proposed BDL file - didn't work; errored out anyway (see below)
*	deleting the error at the end of the BDL file - didn't work; errored
out anyway

 


I've included the text below from the Designed (proposed) BDL file.  I
believe the bolded text is what is missing from the Baseline BDL file.

The text below is from the Baseline BDL file indicating where I think the
missing text would go.
