[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Thickness

The error was: Create Drawing files from IDF has detected a problem.

What would happen if walls and windows have the same thickness?. In a 
greenhouse walls are made of plastic and in order to simulate in 
EnergyPlus I have to enter walls and windows with the same 
properties.  When I try to create a DFX file (I haven't try yet to 
simulate, just to be sure the geometry is correct) with just walls I 
don't get any problem. When I enter windows, then I get the error of 
creating a drawing file.

I hope you can help me

Thanks
