[Bldg-sim] eQUEST Error

[Mike Karpman]

Rick,

 

I've gotten this error before too. I don't think you're doing anything
wrong, it might be a bug in the interface. I got around it by copying an
existing polygon instead of "creating from scratch", then deleting all the
existing vertices or just modifying them to what I want. For whatever
reason, when you select "Copy an Existing Object" instead of "Create from
Scratch" the error doesn't come up and it accomplishes the same thing.

 

Hope this helps,

Mike Karpman

I am getting an error message "unable to locate default data for command=40,
type=0, keyword=" with keyword =859, =860 and =861 when trying to create a
new polygon. Can anyone tell me what this error reflects? Missing or corrupt
file? Program glitch? Is there any documentation available for error codes
like these? I am trying to model a building roof that has a compound slope.
The roof tilt azimuth is not square to the space azimuth so all of the
exterior walls are polygons with a sloped top edges. I'm having to create
these in detailed edit mode as I couldn't find a way to do this in the
wizard mode. Any help with the program error or a better way to input this
geometry would be appreciated.
