[EnergyPlus_Support] dwg - ifc - idf

[Mohit Mehta <mohitmehta1@xxxxxxxxx>]

i got the latest version of architectural desktop 3.3, which supports IFC. BSPro COM-Server is installed and authorized correctly too. i created a 3d CAD file and did an IFC export. it gave me an error message but created an IFC file. and then ran the IFC to IDF editor. it created the IDF file too.

then on running the simulation from EP launch it terminated. errors - 

  ** Severe  ** No items found for Required Object=ZONE
   ** Warning ** Note -- Some missing fields have been filled with defaults.  See the audit output file for details.
   ** Severe  ** Other miscellaneous errors found in input
   **  Fatal  ** Out of "range" values and/or blank required fields found in input
   ************* EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 1 Warning; 2 Severe Errors

is there a certain specific way to build an autocad model for it to export correctly as an IFC...??? can't i take a regular .dwg file of a building and export it...???

any help would be much appreciated. thank you, ~mohit
