<p class=MsoNormal>I have a question, partly due to my ramble a few weeks ago
on the wizards and how I use them. After a long series of adjustments I
shutdown and re-initialize the program. My question is does eQuest take the
INP file and create a new BDL file on opening the project? I'm referring
to the initial run (compile) eQuest does on opening, is it creating a new BDL
file?<br>
To second what everyone else is saying, certain errors are easier fixed in the
INP file, like these ones. The main thing to remember is to always have a
backup copy. The most important one is your last one before you leave the
wizards. Then go for it, if you crash it, copy your copy and try and
other tack.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>one thing you can do is make
changes to the .pd2 and .inp files using notepad once you've figured out what
you need to change. for example, if your EL3 East Perim Plnm (G.E6)
was referenced but is no longer defined, you have a plenum space that belonged
to a space that changed names during a zoning change. look at the .inp
file line number, find out which space the EL3 East Perim Plnm (G.E6) is
supposed to correlate to and change the name accordingly - in the .inp
file. once these references are corrected the simulation should run fine.
<br>
<br>
you're probably looking at changing EL3 East Perim Plnm (G.E6) to whatever the
new space name is (checking what comes before line 14898 can put you in the
right direction on finding the correct name to change to.<br>
<br>
and when you have a working simulation always backup your .pd2 (wizard mode)
and/or .inp (detailed mode) files even if you just copy them in the same
directory.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hmm. Well I'm not sure I
understand exactly what you are asking, but here are my recommendations. Finish
what you need to do in DDWizard and get out of it. I wouldn't even try to make
the changes you are trying to make while in the Wizard.<br>
<br>
Don't fear DD edit. You can do things in it just as easily as in the Wizard,
and if you get stuck we'll help. Like I said earlier, the easiest way to see
what and where the error is, is to open up the .bdl and .inp files. That might
be even scarier to you than DD edit, and that's okay, you should be scared. You
can mess up in a hurry but with careful work you won't. <br>
<br>
Take a deep breath and get out of the Wizard!!<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>That being said, am I safe in assuming that, if I stay in the

compile, I will have the same error. The root cause of the error is in
the interface, correct? If that is the case, then the reality is it just
cannot be fixed unless i change the inp file after compiling?<o:p></o:p></p>

Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
Here's my strategy when this happens to me. I open the <b>.inp</b> file and the
<b>.bd</b>l file in Word. I then use the Edit, Find feature and search on ERROR
in the <b>.bdl</b> file. When I find the line that the error is occurring in I
then fix it in the <b>.inp</b> 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 <b>.inp</b> 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 (..) <br>
<br>
Let me know how you do..<br>
<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am modeling an addition to an existing building. I
originally did the shell/zoning using just the original building. I then,
after saving a back up copy of the base building, i went back to the shell and
zone drawing screens in the DD wizard and expanded the shell to account for the
addition, and then went into the zone creation and adjusted my zones. I
was sure to follow the rules about matching verticies, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Now i am getting errors concerning the zone and
plenum. It appears that the program is still seeing plenums and
walls that are now non-existent. The program says that plenums are being
referenced but are not defined (see error message below).<o:p></o:p></p>
