To figure out why the fourth story is importing without a floor, it would help if you email the gbXML (actually both gbXML's would be great - whole building and isolated fourth story) to OpenStudio@nrel.gov.

To fix this specific model, should be pretty easy in the plugin.

  1. Open up one of the fourth story spaces. See if there is a ceiling where the floor should be. Either reverse the surface and change type to floor or add the missing surface. You should be able to add surface by redrawing one edge.
  2. Check third story ceiling to make sure it isn't a floor. If it is then reverse and change type.
  3. Repeat on other spaces.
  4. Run surface matching.

To figure out why the fourth story floor is importing without a floor, it would help if you email the gbXML (actually both gbXML's gbXML' would be great - whole building and isolated fourth story) floor) to OpenStudio@nrel.gov.

To to figure out why the fourth floor is importing without a floor, it would help if you email the gbXML gbxml (actually both gbXML' gbxml' would be great - whole building and isolated fourth forth floor) to OpenStudio@nrel.gov.

To fix this specific model, should be pretty easy in the plugin.

  1. Open up one of on off the fourth floor spaces. See if there is a ceiling where the floor should be. Either reverse the surface and change type to floor or add the missing surface. You should be able to add surface by redrawing one edge.
  2. Check third floor ceiling to make sure it isn't a floor. If it is then reverse and change type.
