Its hard to know without looking at the idf file itself. Often
times, this is caused by a wall whose normal vector is pointing the
wrong way. The fix is simple: you simply have to select "reverse
faces." The hard part is to figure out which wall is giving you
trouble. Often times, you can look in the *.b17 for an adjacent wall
whose adjacency is set to "undefined" and then start looking back in
the idf file in Sketchup/Trnsys3D.<br>
