<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=260034315-24092010>I just
finished TRNSYS3D house and when I imported it into
TRNBUILD, it said that some adjacent ceiling were undefined. I am now
wondering how to modify the adjacent floors and ceilings without creating
windows (or fenestration) on the surface in SketchUp. I want zones from
different levels of my building to be defined adjacent with another
zone.</SPAN></FONT>
