Hello Brandon, I'm having trouble working with the HB room from solid. I am using the geometry (Building mass, windows, skylights, etc) found in the previous course (Wind Anaylis+butterfly) and also went back to get my own geometry generated in the "Swiss Re analysis using LB" course), but neither of them worked. Right from the start I get the error " 1. Input _geo is not a closed volume. Room volume must be closed to access most honeybee features. Preview the output Room to see the holes in your model." I have then tried every single method I know to make sure the geometry is fully capped but none of them worked... I did some research on my own on the topic, and it seems that this problem is not unusual... See this post: https://discourse.ladybug.tools/t/input-geo-is-not-a-closed-volume/13488 and also found this: http://wiki.bk.tudelft.nl/toi-pedia/Honeybee_Intermezzo_1:_How_to_prepare_your_Rhino_geometry. which could be handy in providing some guidelines on preparing the geometry for usage in HB. From what I read, this error could be a mismatch between tolerances in different files/archives. Maybe if you could provide the course files and/or System Tolerance Settings used in the file you show at this video, it could be very handy. Here are a couple of screenshots… Thanks in advance, Carlos

And here is the first simulation!

Hey again,
Just a small update.
I managed to make it work by changing units to meters and not in mm. So maybe there is a relationship between "tolerance x units" ?
Also, there is this "Report" component that can be very handy if inserted earlier to check if your model has "go" for the simulation!
Kind regards,
Carlos

And here are the different fragments I have tried.
