[TRNSYS-users] Corrupted IDF file in trnsys3d

[gary goddard]

The problem I am having with Trnsys3d is after I create the SU file and IDF
file and close it, whenever I reopen it I get a corrupted IDF file that
creates a zone for every surface and get the error box "Sorry..the plugin
has encountered an error". This also means I can not simulate the temp data
in SU.

error info:

ERROR:
NoMethodError
undefined method `entity' for nil:NilClass

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,
