[TRNSYS-users] Problem matching surfaces Trnsys3d

[David BRADLEY]

Toni,

   If you haven't already done so, you need to activate the first floor 
and draw lines on its roof/ceiling that correspond to the footprint of 
the second floor. The same holds true for walls and floors, 
SketchUp/Trnsys3D is looking at the vertices of all your surfaces and if 
two surfaces have precisely the same vertices then they will be 
recognized as matching.

kind regards,

  David
