[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS3D plugin & SketchUp 8: surface recognition problem

[Stefano Lazzari]

Dear Forum,

I am a new user of TRNSYS 17 and SketchUp 8. After creating the geometry
within SketchUp (paying attention to draw always "inside" each activated
zone) I saved both .skp and .idf files without getting error messages. Then,
I opened the .skp file in SkethUp to proceed with the matching of adjacent
surfaces. However, when I activate a zone some (many) surfaces are not
recognized by the Object Info Tool (they can be selected on screen but are
simply not seen by the Object Info Tool: the area showing Object Inputs
properties is blank and the gray text "No EnergyPlus object selected"
appears). Where I am wrong? Since the geometry is quite complicated, I hope
I do not need to rebuild it from scratch.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,

 

Stefano Lazzari
