Nikola,

 

You have a lot of "Custom zone xx" polygons in your pd2 file, that I have
found have given me this message in the past.  Try deleting the one that
starts at line 1172 (I'm not sure if the line numbers correlate with the
line number in the VTK window.)

FWIW, I've observed the same error on smallish models with detailed geometry
edits.  I don't think the error is size-dependant (though size may be a
contributing factor to the difficulties in getting the 3D views to play
nicely).  I know the same error comes up from wizard-borne pitched roof
inputs on occasion.

 

I have the same sense as others of this being generally erroneous if no
other errors or warnings occur on loading/simulation (I'd certainly
double-check for my own model).  My theory is the error is specifically
getting at a difficulty in rendering the 3D view - which is to say there is
zero effect in regards to the actual simulation/results.  In other cases,
I've observed models with this "triangulation" error partially render the 3D
view, with some surfaces not being drawn at all, but still existing in the
component tree with all appropriate ties.

 

Oh and here's a related post from Mr. Criswell some time ago for further
reassurance:  http://www.gard.com/ml/bldg-sim-archive/msg04131.html

Hi Sami,

 

Yes, large model with lots of custom polygons..the message is gone, project
loads but I still can't view the 3-D, I see the shells only in 2-D.

*I got several responses from various users on the camera reset, latest
being from Josh Greenfield that I'm pasting it below, since interesting
thing-Josh can see the 3-D pix from the zip file I sent, but I can't...go
figure?!?

 

Anything else I can try on my end?

It's weird that Umesh and Josh can see the 3-D from model I sent and I'm not
able to.

 

Best,

N

The file took a long time to open for me, but the 3D came right up.

.maybe try saving the .PD2/.BDL/.INP in a new folder with just those 3 files
and try opening.

Josh, 

Found your posting below on the 3-D fun in equest, but didn't work. Anything
else you can add before I go back and try to recreate?

Model runs/loads but I still can't see the 3-D in equest-it's not even an
option.

Thx,

Nikola

Lost 3-D Geometry Model 

If "Reset Camera" AND closing/re-opening doesn't work...close
eQuest...open your .PD2 file in Notepad and look at lines 13
(ClippingRange), 14 (FocalPoint) and 15 (Position)...

Proj "Peck_Baseline" 

ProgramVersion = "eQUEST 3.63.6510"

BDBaseVersion = 24

ProductCode = "eQUEST"

WeatherFile = "TMY2\CHICAGIL.bin"

CreateDate = 1255555885

ModDate = 1262904952

RunDate = 1262903881

LibraryFile = "eQ_Lib.dat"

ActiveMode = 0

InputModule = 1

UseCameraData = 1

ClippingRange = ( 400.541, 1731.6 )

FocalPoint = ( -89.875, 25.375, 18.0293 )

Position = ( -807.176, 648.915, 295.315 )

If any of the values in there are HUGE (probably with exponents) then
just change them to zero...save...re-open eQuest. These values are just
used by the eQuest camera so you're not changing any shell positions or
anything.

Nikola,

 

Don't worry about it - I've had that message come up before. It didn't
affect anything - it was a pretty large model with a number of custom
polygons - is that what you have too?

Hi, 

I get the following error multiple times when trying to finish a retirement
center with multiple bld's, shells and units..equest runs a long time.

Is there a way to fix it or I go back to my previous files to retrieve left
over info? The 3D is not generating looks like adding last bld's did it.

Thanks,

Nikola
