Incorrect starting vertex in partitions

ecoeficiente.es · Posts: 16 Location: Spain

I have noticed, when exporting to idf, that some partitions don`t follow the rule for the first vertex to start in the Lower left corner (SurfaceGeometry, LowerLeftCorner, CounterClockWise, Relative;).

Does this have any effect in simulation results?

It would be very helpful to us if you could provide a model file that manifests the problem that you describe.

I have just noticed it in House Example 1 (DesignBuilder version 1.1.0.008) The incorrect surfaces are:

R_27555_2_0
R_27555_9_0

W_30360_1_2
W_30781_3_8

We've looked into this and found a problem to do with internal partitions that meant that on occasions a partition surface could be exported to an .IDF file with incorrect vertex ordering.

We've fixed this problem and there should be an update available shortly.
