Building Shell Module - 3D Image Disappears

Hi,

I am a beginner in eQUEST. While in Building Shell Module, 3D tab, I tried
zooming (control key + right mouse button) in on the 3D image. In doing so,
somehow I lost the image - display area went totally black. I have
successfully zoomed before but I've also lost the image before. Please
help.

Thanks,

Bill Wong, PE, CEM

Reset the camera or click the "Simulation" to see whether it works.

Bill -

In some of my projects the building does not reappear even if I reset the
camera. I get out of the program completely and restart eQuest. This worked
for me when the reset camera option did not.

Another approach I use is to switch tabs (say to airside HVAC), run a
simulation, then switch back to 3D view. This may take more or less
time depending on the size of the model.

In some of my projects, the 3D view is actually not available upon
opening the file until a simulation is run. Very mysterious =).

If you've recently copied the file into a new folder you ll need to
run the simulation to generate bdl code then hit abort. Works like a
charm.

Thank you all for your suggestions. The only thing that worked for me was
to get out of the program and restart it as Pranita suggested. I know when
I tried resetting the camera on another project while the image was visible,
the image immediately disappeared. I'll use that with caution and will
experiment a bit.
