[TRNSYS-users] Error idf import to TRNbuild

[David BRADLEY]

Maja,

  I would leave the default construction's alone in SketchUp and then 
adjust them once you get into TRNBuild. I think that in order to change 
the construction names/layers you have to actually change the template 
*.idf file that SketchUp/Trnsys3d uses to generate the *.b18 file. As a 
side note, if you change the constructions in TRNBuild and then export 
the *.idf back to SketchUp, those new constructions will be preserved.

kind regards,

  David
