SE9 library problems.

[Tom Krowka]

Am using the updated se9 library. Am setting windows with 0 inch width of brick molding. Am getting tons of error messages "polygon is degenerated, line 349 file_wa_frame_us_10_se9.gsm". Also line 1027.

Did not seem to have this problem, occuring all of a sudden. It's also messing up the elevation after selecting it's view. The report indicates a "user break" and will not generate. I have to rebuild after this happens, even then sometimes elevation will not occur.

As usual, funky problem when project is due.

I see that type of error quite often when setting "size" parameters to 0.

I cannot say that I know of any good workaround, just probably where the problem is coming from 😞

If you can survive with a rather crude 3D view, I have bypassed the errors by setting the 3D to 'simple' in Options. And if you need the detailed 3D, that will at least buy you time.

I'll try the simple 3 d option.

I wonder if the errors will stop if one sets the "0" parameters to, oh, let's say, 1/2 inch or something that will hardly show up anyway.

Use the Standard AC 9 Library.

I would love to have used the SE Library so that the transition to AC 10 would be easier (I have heard that the US version of AC 10 is based on the SE 9 Library), but it is just to Buggy.

The macro that is causing a lot of people problems with the SE Library
has problems with zero values but setting some of those values to
1/64" or 1 mm instead of zero should avoid some error messages.

I hope GS will fix this problem with the next update. Is anybody listening at GS?
