These error messages are posted by the mechanism which manages the
3-D
building display of eQUEST. Often times these errors are an
indication of very
minor issues with your building's geometry, but there have been a
few
times when we could find no errors in the geometry on models that
still
reported VTK error messages.<br>
<br>
My recommendation is to re-check your model's geometry and if the
VTK errors persist then simply ignore
them. They have no effect whatsoever on the operation of the DOE-2
input (BDL)
and simulation modules or the output simulation results.<br>

<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>
