[TRNSYS-users] trnsys3d pug-in sketchup8 : problem of adjacent wall for several others zones

[Angela Dröscher]

Dear Pauline,

I think your problem is easy to solve: divide the surface (NOT the zone) that is adjacent to two different zones into two surfaces, exactly where the adjacent zones adjoin. It is important that the adjacent surfaces have the same number of vertices and that the vertices exactly line up. Now define the adjacents (now the surface matching tool should also do the job):
surface 1 of zone 1 to zone 2
surface 2 of zone 1to zone 3

I know this hint is included somewhere in the manuals, but I just can't find the section right now.

Hope that helps,
best regards
Angela
