<div>Hi John,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am also experiencing this same error on one of my model files. I cannot trace the origin of the error however because I was not the original "builder" of this model, but I have been able to ignore it and click through my sims without crashing the program or sim calcs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My guess is that in the model file I had received and am working on there are a number of exterior shading devices that have been input (i.e. fixed shades, building shades). It's also a pretty impressive (detailed) model from the 3-D viewer perspective, so I know that the error I'm seeing in my model (like yours) is related to the 3-D graphic interface issues, and it is not directly translating into DOE2 calc issues. The sim results from my model are also seemingly okay and unaffected based on the results reviews I have performed with my Mech Eng and other design team members (and 3rd party data as well.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sorry I can't give a definitive answer for you, but at least know that you are not the only one, and by my experience this type of error seems to reside in the graphic interface that eQuest uses and has not yet deemed detrimental in my energy model.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, have you noticed that in your model zones it looks (from your image) that you are missing a zone in the top part of your building image? There is a square zone with little dots in it that is shaded different from your zones...or maybe its just the shading on my computer screen...</div>
