Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Strange error = window vertices - but why?





Jeremiah,

Do you have your "rectangular surface coordinate system" in the GlobalGeometryRules object defined in the "relative" or the "absolute" co-ordinate system? 
I think that is what Linda is alluding to. I might be wrong.

Sorry to be "dumb" but I do not quite understand the question- do you mean relative to the building surface detailed?

Do you have relative coordinates?  Such that when turned to "absolute" you have this?

Ned & Linda-
Thank you for your avise- Now I am not sure what approach to take as the funny thing is that the origonal db file did not have any issue with this window:

I found the issue, I pasted a window in place from a DB file, and it was rejected- BUT I can not understand why? the vertices's look like they are in the right place-and I want the change the window like I have many times before... Any advise?
