[Equest-users] 3-D Geometry Lost

[Nick Caton]

Want to try something new, and possibly a little dangerous?

(that's one way of saying save a separate copy of the project before proceeding)

If you have a copy of the project files where the 3D view is still working, you could try opening that file up, navigating to the (working) 3D view, then double click the top item of the component tree to view these "camera" view details:

Keeping this window open for reference, open the .pd2 file of the "problem" project in notepad (keep a separate copy!), and try editing the 6 consecutive lines in the beginning section which specify the view properties:

After editing to match, save, close, cross your fingers, and try opening with eQuest...  Good luck!

If all else fails, our forefathers in energy modeling got by without fancy-schmancy 3D visuals, walked uphill both ways to school and liked it too (or so I gather)!

Mildly interesting: I'm finding with a little toying around here that you can effect new 3D views that wouldn't otherwise be possible with the rotate and zoom features by messing with these pd2 values... mostly with confusing or less-than-practical results however so far...

No, I still can't see the 3D. it is appearing like this after make a simulation and right click and try to reset camera.

Juan,

Try right clicking and select "Reset Camera." Then click on one of the other tabs of the program (Internal Loads, Water-Side HVAC, etc.), then go back to your Building Shell. Your 3D geometry should reappear.

Hope this helps!

Dear All

I was working on a multifamily high rise building and suddenly the 3-D Geometry disappear, I don-t know where to find it.

Do you know how to solve this?
I open other projects and the geometry is still there.
