[esp-r] Re: import .dxf with ESP-r V13.3.15 of 14 October 2022

[Jon Hand]

There are so many limitations to DXF.  How about using
gbXML as an import format?  Some CAD tools will
create a gbXML file that reads in fairly cleanly into
ESP-r.

Subject: [esp-r] import .dxf with ESP-r V13.3.15 of 14 October 2022


Dear all,

I am currently trying to set up a project retrofit for an old stone house in France. I used to use Esp-r back in the 2014 for a passive house project.

I am trying to set up the following workflow : sketchup 2017 -> export .dxf file -> import geometry in Esp-r.

To start smoothly here bellow what I started to do:

I tried to import  a geometry from a simple .DXF file that was sent some years ago in this same mail list (the Exo1.DXF) with the current version of ESP-r in linux (at least the sources available in Github) buit from source (I am using Debian 12).


I followed Jon Hand's 2018 mailing list message recommendations at that time ie

I have started a project from scratch building it with :

$prj

and saved it as test_exo1 (root folder).

Then save and closed the project.

After that I lauched again Esp-r, use the import .dxf file utility but this raised that terminal message :

$prj -file test_exo1.cfg
Will attempt to update configuration
Starting ecnv in esp mode with in file ../Exo1.DXF
and output file test_exo1.cfg.

Welcome to the Data conversion utility of ESP-r V13.3.15 of 14 October 2022.
The esp-r configuration file will be: test_exo1.cfg
 Scanning the problem before updating.
At line 5341 of file esru_misc.F
Fortran runtime error: End of record

    at /home/nespinosa/Src/ESP-rSource/src/cnv/ecnv.F:24

What I found is that when I launch the import .dxf, the *indx parameters in the .cfg file passes from 0 to 1.

Then esp-r further complains about the .cfg file  (at least the last line of the file) being incorrect.

Attached again the Exo1.DXF file that was sent in 2018 and that I am using for debugging that .dxf importing step.

Thank you very much for your help.

Rgds,

Nicolas
