pgon 3 error

[Erika Epstein]

Hi,
I made a series of shutters top half being louvered. I did this quickly with slabs for frame and bottom panel and roof tool for slats. Some have an arced top (as opposed to a quarter round). I had some trouble with the slats that need to be trimmed to this arc. First I tried it manually resizing the slights by dragging nodes. Then I tried trimming the ends of the slats with the frame using SEO. Both ways looks right, but when generating the saved library parts and looking at them in 3D windows I get:
"opposite edge list direction in pgon 3" on the 8' high one
and
"opposite edge list direction in pgon 5" on the 9' high one. I can't figure out which polygon they are referring to. In all instances "checking script" says they script is OK. I gave each element that the shutter is composed of its own name such as 'frame, reveal,panel, slat 1, slat 2 etc.

How can I figure out the error of my ways?
Thanks in advance.

Erika,
Which 3D window, the library part editing 3D window
or the project 3D window?
Do the objects show in the 3D window inspite of the error messages
or does the 3D window fail to generate?
Have you tried successively commenting out each piece or body
composing the shutter object in the 3D script to isolate the offending pgons?

I get it in both 3D windows. In the library part 3D it will not generate an image, in ArchicAD it will.
I will try commenting out now.

Peter,
Nothing like a weekend to give my brain a rest.
When I had the library part open and asked it to generate the 3D view, I stopped it at the error message and it went right to the offending part.
The slats that were causing the problem were not happy both angling at 60°
and then curving in the perpendicular plane to match the arched top of the door. I manually fudged it and now they are OK.
Your reminder to comment out got my brain started again.
Thanks
