That is going to make life a lot harder. Trnsys16 did not have a 3D 
graphical building interface for Type56. You have to define each surface 
of the building in TRNBuild and manually specify whether it is an 
external surface, a boundary surface, or an adjacent surface. Section 
6.1.8 of 06-MultizoneBuilding.pdf is the only tutorial available on the 
Trnsys16 process to my knowledge.

kind regards,

  David
