[Equest-users] User Defined Zone - Crashes

[Allgood, Anthony]

Kim,

I did as you suggested and checked my vertices with each space as well as the footprint. I fixed the couple I found that were off, saved and restarted eQUEST. Even after all of that the program still froze when trying to rename zones. I also had an issue where adding the roof completely crashed and closed the program. Maybe using an older version will help so I'm going to try that next. Right now I'm using version 3-64.

Thanks,

Hello All,

I've created zones for a building and now I've set out to rename each zone according to the space that it serves. It seems that on certain zones I click to rename, eQUEST freezes up and must be forced to close. Looks like it does this mostly on the perimeter zones as I haven't had this problem with interior spaces.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Is this an issue with the program or could it be the need for more RAM or maybe a conflict with my video card?

Radmin Mirror Driver V3 (not sure what that is)

Thanks,

Anthony

In the wizard when you are giving user defined named to your spaces and it freezes like that, it usually means that one of the vertices associated with that zone is not in the right place. I actually use this error to check my geometry. Go back to the zone in question and make sure all the points are aligned with the adjacent zones' points or footprint points. Make sure all unnecessary vertices are deleted and that there are no gaps between spaces.

Best of luck,
Kim
