Building Shell Problem

Hello,

I have run into a difficult situation in equest. I decided one day to
go into the building shell and manually enter in the area and then it
gave me errors that if the polygon is input then area cannot be used.
So I went in and tried to change it back to the way it was and it keeps
giving me errors. Is there a way to alleviate this?

Thanks!!

For some reason eQUEST won't allow a Restore Default on this particular
item. So, you have to delete the AREA reference in the .inp file.

If you open the file and search for the space name that is giving you
troubles, find the line that defines AREA. Delete this entire line and
the program will revert to the calculated area based on the polygon
definition.

Thanks,
