<p class=MsoNormal>Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I´m quite new in the trnsys community and I would like to
use google sketch up in order to sketch a 3d building, but I have experienced
when the model gets more complex (more zones) I have problems with the
"export" to sim studio.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I get back to my model in google sketch up, I receive the
following error message:<o:p></o:p></p>
