[TRNSYS-users] adjacent wall not found.

[David BRADLEY]

Sofie,
   Its hard to know without looking at the idf file itself. Often times, 
this is caused by a wall whose normal vector is pointing the wrong way. 
The fix is simple: you simply have to select "reverse faces." The hard 
part is to figure out which wall is giving you trouble. Often times, you 
can look in the *.b17 for an adjacent wall whose adjacency is set to 
"undefined" and then start looking back in the idf file in 
Sketchup/Trnsys3D.
Best,
  David
