Hi,
I have just discovered this forum and thought I would record the discussion I have had with Andy.
I inadvertently created some very small zones when I uploaded a complex Bitmap drawing and then created partitions which jumped to "snaps" which were close together.
These zones were too small to see in the block drawing although were identified in the Zone list. As they were small, they created an errror message in SBEM that they were out of range and stopped the calculation, even though they had no windows and were classified as "Store". Sad
Andy was able to delete them and identified a way to highlight them on the drawing which he will be able to pass on. Smile
Tim.

Thanks for recording this Tim. I am planning to add a check to DB to generate an error message when there is a zone of less than a certain floor area (say <=1 m2) to help to pin-point this sort of error and give users basic instructions to fix it.
