Hi, I used the same building example in the Revit plug-in training and imported that successfully into IES. The building looks good except when I generated a report to double-check if there are any issues. I ended up with an unmatched edge for 3rd floor level. Is there a way to fix that beforehand? Please note that I ran validation command through all my floors and no issues prior importing as GEM.
Hi @oalhanbali, welcome to the forum!
If I have to guess, this is most likely happening because to ran the Snap to Grid command but the skylight roofs didn’t snap to the grid. This results in a gap between the two. If you adjust the skylight holes on the roof to match the skylight roof the issue should go away. If you can share the PoMF, I can show you why the issue happens and how to resolve it.
This is not an ideal case but this is expected based on how we currently run the validation command. The reason you don’t see any validation errors is because we can only catch this error if we generate the full 3D geometry. We decided not to do that since the additional time doesn’t justify some of these edge cases that could happen in the roof. @chriswmackey can explain cases like this better than I do.
Let me know if it makes sense to you and if you have any other questions.
Thanks, @oalhanbali and @mostapha ,
If I can understand exactly what this case is like in the POMF, maybe there is a way we can run a validation error for it without taking too much runtime. If it’s an issue that can happen without sloped roofs and can largely be checked in 2D, then I can probably figure out a way to add a check to validation without adding much runtime.
