[TRNSYS-users] Window importation failure

[David BRADLEY]

Susana,

   The steps that you describe are the correct ones and I just made a 
very simple example to make sure that there is not a fundamental problem 
with importing adjacent windows.


   There is a maximum number of surfaces allowed in a model so it is 
possible that may be the problem. I have also had models that just 
turned sour on me and I have found in some cases that I just had to 
delete the windows (or walls) that were not importing correctly and then 
redraw them.


   If none of those ideas solves the problem then you should send the 
*.idf and *.b18 into your distributor to see if they can offer some help.

kind regards,

  David
