[TRNSYS-users] IDF import problem

[David BRADLEY]

Mohamed,

   If you have not already done so, could you open your *.idf in 
SketchUp and resave it, then try the import again into TRNBuild. If that 
does not work, you may be able to open the *.b17 that was created from 
the former *.idf using TRNBuild from v18 then export the *.idf from 
TRNBuild back to SketchUp, resave, then import once more into TRNBuild.

kind regards,

  David
