After creating the geometry within SketchUp (paying attention to draw always “inside” each activated zone) I saved both .skp and .idf files without getting error messages. Then, I opened the .skp file in SkethUp to proceed with the matching of adjacent surfaces. However, when I activate a zone some (many) surfaces are not recognized by the Object Info Tool (they can be selected on screen but are simply not seen by the Object Info Tool: the area showing Object Inputs properties is blank and the gray text “No EnergyPlus object selected” appears). Where I am wrong? Since the geometry is quite complicated, I hope I do not need to rebuild it from scratch…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thank you very much for your help.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Stefano Lazzari <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:IT'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:IT'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:IT'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:IT'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:IT'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-language:IT'>Dr. Eng.
