[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Modeling an Airport
Thanks Ooi for your answer,
Can you tell me the way you input your building because the airport is similar to what you said but not so quite and it's bigger than 188,000 sq.mt. What I know in E+ for building the geometry is inputting the (x,y,z) coordinates for points, so you can imagine the difficulties. Is it the only way or you think there is better appropriate way?

The center of the building also projects out from the East and West end walls to enable daylighting with north facing windows. The buildngs in located in the southern hemisphere.

If you open that rectified idf with E+ again, you can see the new surfaces of the new zones, which may be deleted using E+ IDF-Editor.
