[TRNSYS-users] problem in trnbuild

[Matt Duffy]

Dear Cristina,

Since you are a new user, I am going to suggest that you instead use and learn the Trnsys3D plugin for Google SketchUp. There is a great tutorial that will walk you through everything, it is simple to apply multiple zones, add windows, and shading. After you import this Trnsys3d (*.idf) file into TrnBuild, you can indeed change the wall constructions. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
