Just in case it is not clear, it is also worth mentioning that an *.idf
file exists only if the SketchUp drawing was saved by the Trnsys3D
plugin as a *.idf file. If what you are drawing in SketchUp is shades of
grey, chances are that you are not drawing with the Trnsys3D plugin but
with SketchUp itself; in this case there won't be anything for the
plugin to save as it does not "see" SketchUp objects. If the shapes that
you are drawing turn yellow (for walls) and red (for roofs) then you are
drawing in the Trnsys3D plugin and you can save (and then later reopen)
the *.idf file. Bear in mind that you save the *.idf using the save icon
in the Trnsys3D toolbar NOT by selecting "save" from the "file" menu.
