[TRNSYS-users] push/pull function to create walls/roof in trnsys3d

[Paul OSullivan]

Hi TRNSYS Users,

 

I am having some difficulty with the push/pull function in sketchup8. Once I have created my trnsys3d zone and have it active I have no problem in creating the floor of my zone using the rectangle drawing tool. It correctly shades the floor as grey. However, when I use the push/pull tool (as shown in the tutorial) to extrude my zone the entire zone surfaces are defined as floor and not walls/roof. The colouring also doesn't change automatically. Even when I use the trnsys3d object info tab to manually change the surface properties the colours don't update, and the windows aren't recognised as such when drawn in the wall. I have always checked the trnsys3d zone is active. Is there an orientation issue maybe??

 

Is there some step by step method to getting this to work or  can I draw walls, roof, windows manually..

 

Thanks for your help!
