[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: atrium

["ooodard" <overy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
We used Microsoft Visio Professional 2002 with service release 1 and 
an add on from Microsoft.  Visio can read dxf and dwg files, but you 
then have to input Visio walls etc again over the dxf.  We found 
walls and windows translated from IFC to IFD reasonably OK, but never 
managed to get floors or ceilings/roofs to work.

One other problem was that Visio takes the centreline of the wall as 
the plane of the wall, so walls don't actually meet at the corners, 
and the space is not "convex".

In summary, we found Visio of marginal use in this application.
Regards
Paul Overy
