RunEnergySimulation error: 'hb_EPZoneSurface' object has no attribute 'punchedGeometry' (from Chris' tutorials)

Hello everyone,

I'm learning honeybee (at last). A bit tricky, considering that tutorials are based on older version but so far everything went pretty smoothly. However here it is, a problem I don't know how to solve.

It appears in

11 - Honeybee Energy Modeling - The Laws of Geometry in E+ Part 3: ...

where I need to retrieve .idf file,

and shows this message:

1. Solution exception:'hb_EPZoneSurface' object has no attribute 'punchedGeometry'

I've added .gh file at a state where I meet the problem.

Also, I've looked around the forum and found some mention OpeanStudio related problems, mainly one's lack of it. Could it be the source of the problem, because I only followed Installation Instructions and haven't installed OpenStudio.

Hi Tim,

Great to see that you've started learning Honeybee too. I checked your file and I also get the error. The error is honeybee error and not related to OpenStudio or EnergyPlus installation. It's probably the results of some recent changes for making zone evaluation faster. I added an issue to Honeybee to fix it soon. It seems to only happen for double curvature surfaces.
