<p class="MsoNormal">I am have problems daylighting my model with skylights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It seem like equest wants to only daylight using windows. However my model is using primarily skylights. In my core space I am getting error message:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">***ERROR***********************************************************************<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> A daylighting calculation was requested for SPACE EL1 Core Spc (G.C5)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> This SPACE has no WINDOWs with AREA more than 0.1 SQFT.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Normal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> Add WINDOWs to this SPACE of turn off DAYLIGHTING.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another issue might be the fact that the daylight azumith does not want to point in the Z direction. It seem only to want look toward a window or wall. I believe this might have something to do with my errors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have attached my model. Daylighting is the very last parametric run.<o:p></o:p></p>
