[Equest-users] User Defined Zone - Crashes

[Otto Schwieterman]

Anthony, 

 

If you are going to use the detailed edit mode I would recommend
renaming the spaces and zones then. I have not heard of eQUEST freezing
when you are in the detailed edit mode. When you are in the detailed
edit mode you will want to make sure that you do not have exterior walls
when you want interior walls. As Kim mentioned, there may be a problem
with the geometry of the model.

 

Good luck,

 

Otto

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?

Computer Details:

Intel Core 2 Duo vPro, E8400 @ 3.00 GHz
Windows XP Professional, v 2002
Service Pack 3
3GB RAM
Virtual Memory @ 4092 MB
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295
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
