[TRNSYS-users] Convert a *.b18 file in a *.b17 file

[David BRADLEY]

Toni,

  Getting the geometry converted is not too hard. I think all you'd need 
to do is open SketchUp/Trnsys3d using the appropriate template (*.b18 or 
*.b17) and then import the resulting *.idf file with the appropriate 
version of TRNBuild. If you have added a lot of data to the *.b18 in 
TRNBuild already then things might be a little more difficult. You can 
export the *.b18 back to an *.idf but I think that TRNBuild from v17 
would have a very hard time importing that *.idf to make a *.b17 from it.

  Depending on how brave you are, you could try the following. Import 
the building geometry into TRNBuild v17 and create a *.b17 file. Open 
both that file and the *.b18 file using a text compare tool (I use 
CompareIt) and start moving things from the *.b18 file over to the 
*.b17  file one piece at a time. TRNBuild's syntax is pretty transparent 
although there are some definitions (such as the definition of a 
VENTILATION) that have changed between v17 and v18. You could open 
another, more complete b17 file using a text editor to see what the 
syntax looked like in v17.

kind regards,

  David
