Why suddenly when I have a space with an unreferenced zone and I recreate the reference to about 30 zones, then close and reopen, all work to unreferenced spaces is gone. Also, trying to implement floor plan revisions have always been the worst. This is uncalled for. In the 8 years or so that I have been using this program, it has improved very little overall and perhaps taken a step backwards in some regards. I have been telling myself to make this project the last one in equest for years now, even doing openstudio side-by-side with equest for the building form for many. It might be safe to say that equest is no longer the most productive. It does not bring me pleasure to write this, as I will have to do the painstaking process of becoming more familiar with openstudio and wasting a few hundred more hours. However, it seems that may be more worthwhile than dealing with the glitches and everyday slowisms of equest.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:#1F497D'>Kevin</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Brian Fountain [mailto:bfountain@greensim.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 27, 2014 11:42 AM<br><b>To:</b> equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Equest-users] eQUEST v3.65 build 7163 released Mar 18 2014 - fixes hourly report viewer<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>I was visiting doe2.com this morning (as you do from time to time -- you know) and found that there was a relatively recent release of a new v 3.65 build.
