The problem I am having with Trnsys3d is after I create the SU file and
IDF file and close it, whenever I reopen it I get a corrupted IDF file
that creates a zone for every surface and get the error box "Sorry..the
plugin has encountered an error". This also means I can not simulate the
temp data in SU.<br><br>error info:<br clear="all"><br>ERROR:<br>NoMethodError<br>undefined method `entity' for nil:NilClass<br><br>BACKTRACE:<br>C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/Trnsys3d/lib/interfaces/Surface.rb:144:in `create_entity'<br>
