[EnergyPlus_Support] BLAST buiding geometry data generation

["aboyemeplus" <Merid.Aboye@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use BLAST's user interface (HBLC) to generate 
building geometry data to be translated into EnergyPlus input file. 
While the data translation works out fine, I am having problems 
reconciling the visual geometry in HBLC with the corresponding zone 
and wall coordinates indicated in the ".BS" and ".BIN" files.  In 
other words, what I see on the HBLC screen is totally different from 
what is generated in terms of coordinates, especially when it comes 
to defining zone origins. As a result, I am ending up doing time 
consuming editing of the "BIN" file before translating the data into 
EnergyPlus. 
I realize that this is not an EnergyPlus issue, but I'd really 
appreciate help from anyone with BLAST experience.  I was unable to 
find much information regarding the use of the GUI in the BLAST 
documentation. 

Thank you in advance for your support.
