[TRNSYS-users] NON-SYMMETRIC ADJACENT WALLS

[David BRADLEY]

Juan Francisco,
   When you draw your building in Trnsys3D, you will need to perform 
either an automatic or a manual surface matching so that the wall that 
separates the two zones is listed as ADJACENT in both. Once you import 
your *.idf into TRNBuild, you should see the ADJACENT wall listed in 
both zones. Go to the wall typemanager and select the ADJACENT wall type 
(note, you may want to make a copy of this wall and give it a new name 
in case you have more than one type of adjacent wall in your building). 
You can now change the layers to be whatever you like. Note that at the 
top of the layer list there is text that says "front/inside." This means 
that the first layer in the list is denoted as the "front" of the wall. 
Lastly, go to the zone that contains the "front" of the wall, select the 
ADJACENT wall in that zone and make sure that the radio button below 
says "front." If it says "back," simply change it to "front."
Best,
  David
