[TRNSYS-users] Replacing .idf file

[David BRADLEY]

Mattias,
  The "export" feature is where you need to start. Essentially the 
export feature saves any changes you have made in TRNBuild. You then 
open the exported idf file in SketchUp and make your geometry change, 
then bring the idf file back into TRNBuild. If everything worked then 
you'll have your new geometry and all the changes that you previously 
made in TRNBuild preserved. There is a tutorial on the use of Trnsys3D 
located in the ..\Trnsys17\Documentation directory. It includes some 
hints on the export/import process.
best,
  David
