That's perfect - didn't know this existed.

Thank you Shane

Hi Seb, that message usually means some of a roof may be at a lower level than the roof you are trying to set it up over. If you require assurance that all surfaces are correct I would advise using Print and Schedule to examine the rooms surface area properties - as shown here.

Hi Shane, thanks for the tip. Checked the DXFs and retraced and still getting the same results. Though when I make it an exposed roof I get the following error:

For reference, my FFL is set at 0 for the floor below, and lowest point on the roof is 0.5m above that.

I'm not sure if this would be affecting the results in terms of solar radiation or not... If it isn't then I am not too bothered by the 3D view being off as am only after heat gain numbers

Regards,

Seb

Hi Seb,

From your images I would suggest that your roof may not be covering the rooms below in their entirety - I would recommend retracing the roof section ensuring they are larger, so that they cover the room below. The roof set up should work fine then.

Regarding extending the walls - the same wall type in the room is used.
