Geometry Import from Openstudio

old forum
1

I am trying to import an existing idf geometry file from Openstudio and everytime I look at the model in Rhino, the rooms are on-top of one another.

I tried importing a few idf files from the EPlus example directory and from DesignBuilder, both work much better and give geometry that matches the layout of thermal zones.

Is there anything I am missing in my model? or in how the import idf function works?

Hi Neil,
Coordinates in OpenStudio are relative however coordinates in Honeybee have to be absolute coordinates. You’re using a fairly old version of the component (yes! The one on food4Rhino is fairly old). The newer version which you can find on github imports them correctly. I suggest you to update all your components with github.
