I do not think that there is a hard limit on the number of zones
that you can have in TRNBuild/Type56. There is a limitation of 999
surfaces for TRNBuild to work with though. I do not think that there
is a limit to the number of shaders and I do not think that shaders
count as surfaces as far as TRNBuild is concerned.<br>
<br>
In the largest building model that I have done to date, there were
60 zones. The building was 5 stories tall and I did run into the 999
surface limit so I had to group windows together so that I modeled
one large window with equivalent properties instead of a number of
smaller windows.<br>

<div> Hello, <br>
<br>
I do have a question regarding the Trnsys Google sketch-up
plugin. what is the <br>
maximum number of possible zones to be defined within a model,
additionally i <br>
would like to ask about the maximum numbers of shading groups. <br>
<br>
Best Regards <br>
