I created a single box building with six surfaces in ABS and add espace and

Any ideas?<br>

together. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

work together for multi story buildings because of the vertical adjacency
problem. Single floor buildings should work although you have to be
careful with the internal load definitions because all the ABS values get
pulled into the GBS model.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Hi there, I have a question regarding to converting GBXML
from ABS to GBS. GBS keep giving me error messages such as “Surface id=
su13_Floor, an InteriorFloor, should have two spaces adjacent to it. It has 1
defined.“ As such, I constructed a test run with only 1 espace on first
level and 1 espace on second level. The second level espace is perfectly line
up above the first level espace. The error message remains with the second
level spaces’ floor type set to “Interior Space.” The error
message only goes away when the floor type is changed to “Raised
Floor.” However, I thought “raised floor” is referring to
under floor distribution. Does Autodesk has different terminology? Is it the right
setting for slab to slab construction? If not, what other possibility for
the error?<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
