[TRNSYS-users] Adjacent surfaces not recognized with 3d plugin

[Alexandre da Silva]

Many thanks for the reply!
Your suggestions turned out ok. It seems that matching also needs to have the roof/floor combination to set the front and back sides of an adjacent wall.

Problem solved. 
Once again thanks
Alexandre
