Validation errors on boundry changes

Rhino Plugin
1

Keep getting the following type of errors when adjusting boundary conditions.

Working from a previously valid model, but many rooms and po_solveadjacencies keeps changing the conditions of the surfaces to ones I do not wish, so going through each surface.

Model fails to save.

Error Below on PO_validate model, Can someone explain the

“Input boundary_condition_objects for Faces length must be 2 not 0” error?

Hi @paul, can you share your model with us for testing? From the error, it looks like you have a face with a Surface boundary condition but the information for the adjacent face has been removed.

Can you explain a bit more about the unexpected behavior? What do expect the command do and what are getting now instead?

Hi @paul, Thank you for sharing your model. I fixed it and send it back. As I mentioned, the key is to use the PO_SetAirBoundariesByGuides command. Here is a video that shows how it can be done for a sample model.

Here is the file. set_airboundary.3dm (287.2 KB) - Hope it helps!
