All,
On the baseline model for a project, I continue to get the following
error despite several attempts to remedy: SPACE E13 NNW Perim Spc
(M.NNW51) has no ZONE - one is required.
My attempts to fix it have included:
* trying to locate a ZONE definition within the program -
unsuccessful
* directly editing the BDL file by pasting a missing section from
the Proposed BDL file - didn't work; errored out anyway (see below)
* deleting the error at the end of the BDL file - didn't work;
errored out anyway
I've included the text below from the Designed (proposed) BDL file. I
believe the bolded text is what is missing from the Baseline BDL file.
The text below is from the Baseline BDL file indicating where I think
the missing text would go.

Please let me know of any thoughts or suggestions you may have. Any
help is appreciated.

James,
You'll need to edit the .inp file instead of the .bdl file. The .bdl file
is generated from the .inp & .pd2 files, and changes made to it will be
discarded every time you save the project.
You'll need to create a new zone and reference the space in question either
from the .inp file or the equest interface.
