<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> <p>Hi Jon,</p> <p><br> </p> <p>thank you for the command-line example. It would be great if you could find that file.</p> <p><br> </p> <p>All those that I tried failed. The "Exercise Center" which is shown as an example (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.esru.strath.ac.uk//Courseware/ESP-r/tour/exchange_with_CAD.html">https://www.esru.strath.ac.uk//Courseware/ESP-r/tour/exchange_with_CAD.html</a>) appears to be the "Exercise Facility" example from gbxml.org (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.gbxml.org/Sample_GreenBuildingXML_gbXML_Files">https://www.gbxml.org/Sample_GreenBuildingXML_gbXML_Files</a>). I was trying to import it (with absolute paths as in your example commandline):</p> <p><br> </p> <p>ecnv -if gbxml -in /Users/lars/esprt/ExerciseFacility.xml -of esp -out /Users/lars/esprt/test > ecnv.log 2>&1</p> <p><br> </p> <p>This however runs forever giving me thousands of warnings "In /Users/lars/esprt/ExerciseFacility.xml error reading (xml line) EOF sensed."</p> <p><br> </p> <p>What I found out is that ecnv's gbxml-reader makes assumptions on how xml should be formatted. Adding some newlines by pretty-printing the input with "xmllint -format" makes it read and convert the geometry of a simply test file (a cube without any non-geometric data) that I am attaching. However, after being prompted to save zone constructions, I get a SIGTRAP after several warnings:</p> <p><br> </p> <p><font face="monospace">WARNING: in BlenderBldg.cfg: *scfdr 0 0 0 0.000 0.000<br> the cfd start value (0) < normal minimum 1!<br> <br> WARNING: in BlenderBldg.cfg: *scfdr 0 0 0 0.000 0.000<br> the cfd finish value (0) < normal minimum 1!<br> <br> WARNING: in BlenderBldg.cfg: *scfdr 0 0 0 0.000 0.000<br> the cfd start time value (0.00) < normal minimum 1.0000!<br> <br> WARNING: in BlenderBldg.cfg: *scfdr 0 0 0 0.000 0.000<br> the cfd finish time value (0.00) < normal minimum 1.0000!<br> WARNING in BlenderBldg.cfg: no chars found for cfd res string in:<br> *scfdr 0 0 0 0.000 0.000<br> <br> Program received signal SIGTRAP: Trace/breakpoint trap.<br> <br> Backtrace for this error:</font><br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>When I still try to load the converted model in prj, I get cfd-related warnings (cfs finish / start time / finish time value (0) < normal minimum; no chars found for cfs res string in *scfdr 0 0 0.00 0.00) followed by a "<font face="monospace">Program received signal SIGTRAP: Trace/breakpoint trap.</font>"<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>Best, Lars.<br> </p> <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br> </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:LO2P265MB5679532D03E1D5EBD15A00DEBA429@LO2P265MB5679.GBRP265.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <style type="text/css" style="display:none;">P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}</style> <div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="elementToProof"> I had a look and found a session capture related to gbxml.
