Hi all,

I'm getting the WPC Translator error of "path 'X' is not on a building surface". Based on previous threads, I've made sure my meshes align with the REFBLOCK. I noticed in the WPC Translator terminal that the coordinates of the reference point is X=0, Y=0, Z=30m. Unsure how that happened so maybe that could be the reason?

Hi Andy,
For your CFD0 case, you did not define "REFBLOCK" block: a blockage needs to have the name of REFBLOCK.
Please double-check the user manual.
