Create Bar From Space Type Ratios - error when disabling ground contact

[mrdeslau]

When the argument "bottom_story_ground_exposed_floor": "False" is passed in "Create Bar From Space Type Ratios", I am receiving the following error in OpenStudio 3.7.0. The error appears to be thrown when "Create Typical Building from Model" is executed.

Under OpenStudio 3.6.0 I am getting a similar but slightly different error message -

The log files, osw files, and seed file are attached for each version of Openstudio. I used the compatibility matrix when pulling the appropriate measures for each version of Openstudio, so these should be correct. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Just wanted to add that I discovered a workaround using an additional measure - "Set Exterior Walls and Floors to Adiabatic".

In "Create Bar From Space Type Ratios" the argument "bottom_story_ground_exposed_floor": "True" is passed and then the additional measure sets the bottom floor boundary to adiabatic. This OSW works, but it requires an additional measure and going outside of create bar.
