Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Required field blank and IDD question



I don't see a problem with the MATERIAL:REGULAR object shown. The 
warning for possible incorrect IDD file only indicates you should check 
the version of the IDD and compare it to the version of the program 
(EXE). Your IDD and EXE versions are both 2.1.0.023. Have you changed 
the IDD? Check the audit file and see if it shows other mistakes. Since 
the error reported does not appear to indicate the true error, please 
upload your file to the support group web site.
