<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Dear Achim and list,<br><br>I updated ESP-r to version 11.9 to include non-rectangular polygon obstruction blocks. <br><br>The first thin I noticed loading the model after the update was the following error mesasge:<br><br>"Using installed version of esprc file.<br>When scanning materials db looking for legacy index 40<br>no match found for material named Concrete med density (1800) : Blockwork (UK code)"<br><br>Is there an easy workaround for this?<br><br>Secondly the conversion of obstruction blocks to polygons seem to fail and I cannot enter coordinates for the 8 vertices's and hence make polygon obstruction block. Can I enter this manually within the obs-file and how would the syntax look like?<br><br>Below you will find the present output when making polygon obstruction blocks:<br><br># site obstruction
