I have an architectural model in Revit that I have linked into our MEP model and I am trying to import the model into IES VE using the IES Plug-in, but I am getting errors in the "room check report" which is preventing me from accessing the "Set Model Properties" dialog box. Most of the errors seem to be a discrepancy between the floor and ceiling area. In one room it says that it has no ceiling at all. I have contacted the architect and he has used one large floor slab as the entire makeup of the first floor slab and ground floor ceiling, so we are looking into the possibility of this being our problem. I have attached the report for information.

Is this a problem with the architect's model or with the spaces that MEP has created? The rooms in the architect's model seem to be fine and I am also having trouble putting spaces in two other rooms, even though they have room tags in the architect's model.

Should I be trying the import straight from the architect's model instead of doing it via the link in our MEP model?

If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. I know this is a long post but I'm getting quite stuck.

Thanks.
