[TRNSYS-users] TURN Component

[David BRADLEY]

Rebecca,
  It sounds as though your understanding is correct. Take a look at the 
3d_Building example (.\Trnsys17\Examples\3d_building\Building.tpf). The 
idea is that you draw the building in SketchUp/Trnsys3D using plan 
north, not true north. When you then deal with the building in 
TRNBuild/Trnsys Studio, you have to correct for the difference between 
plan and true north.
Best,
  David
