Solution exception: 525bdb17024742cc8a5f_1 has been moved, scaled or rotated. If you need to move or rotate a Honeybee object you should use Honeybee move, rotate or mirror components

Hello everyone,

i'm really new to honeybee and tried to set up a model of a complete building. i tried to follow the steps of chris's tutorial videos so far (they are really helpful, thank you).

i've tried to run the simulation but got an error :hb_EPZoneSurface' object has no attribute 'surface'

so i've updated all the user objects because the topic has been discussed before but now i get a new error concerning the grasshopper objects i used to manually input the windows into the model. i also tried to use the honeybee object to scale my surfaces but it got an error here as well: wrong input for HBOJ

since this is my first simulation i'm really not sure where to start debugging or if the model can even be analyized the way i've tried to set it up?

Hi Benny,

I took a look. You need to supply HBZones to the Honeybee_Run Energy Simulation Component. Instead, you are a providing various data types. This should be avoided.

hy devang,

thanks for the fast reply.

i thought the honeybee_addglazing component would convert my surfaces automatically. is there a way to get HBZones out of my collection of surfaces?

Hi Benny,

Please find an example attached. Hope it helps.

hy devang,

thanks a lot it helped! i guess i have to figure out how to sort my geometry properly

hy devang

bumped into another problem maybe you have seen this before...i guess the geometry should be alright now at least for the first two zones feeded into the energyplus component but i get a new error:

Solution exception:index out of range: 1

are the hbzones still incorrect? i've attached the latest file. thanks

Hi Benny,

The way I see it, there are two issues you need to resolve. There are open and invalid breps in your workflow. Please see attached 01. It is strongly advised that the HbZones shall be a closed volume. That's not happening still. see attached 02. The adjacent surfaces should be similar, otherwise, the adjacency calculation will give an error. This needs to be addressed to. All in all, you still need to take a good look at how your geometry is being supplied to Run Energy Simulation component.
