[Equest-users] Wizard BDL Error When Defining Custom Zones

[Patrick J. O'Leary, Jr.]

looking back at the error message it is indicating that there base cause 
is there is missing space data, so the zone the space should be assigned 
to generates an error, and the hvac unit the zone is assigned to 
generates an error.

so ... even if you create one space does the .inp file reflect the input 
properly?  i.e. one space, assigned to one zone, assigned to one hvac unit?

or is your space or zone name too long?  perhaps greater than 32 characters?
