[TRNSYS-users] Adjacent surfaces with TrnSys 3D

[David BRADLEY]

Olivier,
   SketchUp is pretty good at "snapping" new lines to existing vertices. 
I rely very heavily on that when drawing adjacent walls in two zones. It 
also helps to type in measurements of wall lengths and wall heights 
instead of trying to use the mouse to set the length.
Best,
  David
