Error on Building template default data

[amira_asila]

Hi,
when I setting up all the data and materials in building template manager and try to save it, I am getting this message "Problem assigning default template data". I am also cannot run the simulation because of this problem. Why did this happen and how to solve it? I have tried to copy all default data as per previous project but it still has this problem. Thanks.

sounds like you've deleted the "default" template and it's no longer able to apply it (must have been applied somewhere before).
Start a new project, import your geometry and your templates and you should be good.

I have already start a new project but yet it still has the same problem. how to import the default data template back?

I know this is an old one, this error shouldn't be occurring on a brand new project but effectively it is telling us something within the model has the template called 'default' assigned and either it can't assign this or it may be removed form the project.

Occasionally we see this where a shading object that might have formerly been modelled as a room in ModelIT still has the thermal template associated, one solution that may help others

- In ModelIT create new groups for your shading objects
- edit all objects to be rooms
- switch to the analysis application you are using e.g. Apache
- select all the shading geometry (which is now rooms and so editable here) and assign thermal template and assign the default template
- switch back to ModelIT and set the type of the shading back to the correct object e.g. local shade, adjacent building, topographical
- continue working as before and the error should now be removed
