Hi Chris and Mostapha,
The attached file is a workflow to calculate outdoor thermal comfort at 2m height using UTCI, following your workflow for microclimate mapping (http://hydrashare.github.io/hydra/viewer?owner=chriswmackey&for…).
In your workflow, the ground zone is directly used for solving adjacency with all the building mass. However, it was not used to intersect with the building mass before this step. I wonder if it is appropriate.
In my workflow, the ground zone is included, with all building mass, for intersecting and solving adjacency, and now the top surface of the ground zone is identified as a roof surface.
Is this procedure correct or necessary?
Thank you very much!

It seems I also go the following severe errors, and I can’t figure out why…
Advice is greatly appreciated!

Seems this is the problematic text in the IDF file:
Sorry to reopen this post, but I have the same question !
What you finally did @Grasshope ?
