[TRNSYS-users] Problem with Trnsys 3d / SketchUp 7

[David BRADLEY]

Rebecca,
   When I first started using SketchUp, I used the value control box as 
follows: click to start a line, click to end the line, enter the 
dimension in the value control box before clicking anywhere else. It 
worked fine BUT I don't think it was intended to. I think the correct 
procedure (and the one that works in TRNSYS3D) is as follows: click to 
start a line, move the mouse to get the line pointing in the proper 
direction (BUT DON"T CLICK!!!) then enter the dimension in the value 
control box and press enter.
best,
  david
