[Equest-users] Strange errors in file- HELP!

[Carol Gardner]

Hi Paul,

Here's my strategy when this happens to me. I open the *.inp* file and the *
.bd*l file in Word. I then use the Edit, Find feature and search on ERROR in
the *.bdl* file. When I find the line that the error is occurring in I then
fix it in the *.inp* file. Repeat until all errors gone. You probably have
an existing space that shared an interior wall with your now deleted space
and is trying to reference it using" NEXT-TO". Be sure to fix the error in
the *.inp* file not the .bdl file, which I have done a few times. This is
one example of why it is good to familiarize yourself with the Building
Descriptive Language (BDL): you can make these sorts of fixes much easier in
your input deck using than trying to figure it out in DD edit. Just be sure
not to delete any delimiters (..)

Let me know how you do..

Carol
