[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Thickness

[Andrés Montero <amontero75@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have AutoCad as a dfx viewer, and I don't get a dxf file since it 
can't be created when I try to creat ir.
I will try to upload de idf file to the gruop in order to get help. 
You can try erasing the HeatTransferSub and you'll see the dxf will 
be created without any problem, I got the error when I add a window.

thanks
