Tip-of-the-Day: eQUEST roof generation errors

1 post / 0 new

I was having issues with multiple roof generation errors every time I opened a model. I had created pitched roofs in the wizard and they looked okay when I transitioned to DD Edit mode. I fixed a few bad roof polygons (extra vertices for example) but I was still getting the errors. So I went into the .pd2 file and edited the three lines shown below to be equal to 0, so that the wizard wasn't trying to generate pitched roof surfaces. The errors went away and the roof surfaces in DD Edit mode remained as intended. So, lucky guess for me and maybe it'll work for you too.
