There isn't much in the way of tools to help debug an *.idf file
that isn't importing correctly into TRNBuild. I have not gotten the
exact error message that you mentioned but I have gotten similar
ones. The import feature in TRNBuild almost always creates a
complete *.b17 file (even if it won't open the *.b17 fully). I would
recommend that you open the *.b17 with a text editor (such as
Notepad) and see if you can locate the surface that is causing you
the error then go back to SketchUp, delete the corresponding surface
and redraw it.<br>
In general it is highly recommended that you draw your building
one zone at a time, match surfaces, then import the building into
TRNBuild after each new zone is drawn. It becomes increasingly
difficult to go back and find an error in the Trnsys3D plugin. By
importing after drawing each new zone you make sure that you catch
the error early. <br>
Of course if you are unable to find the cause of the error you can
send the *.idf to your distributor for assistance.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
David<br>

<div>I made the house model by Google Sketchup Pro and match the
surfaces by SURFACE MATCHING tool. However, when I use TRNSYS
Simulation Studio to run the *.idf file. It notices an ERROR
READING BUIFILE - "WALL SURFACE NUMBER IS NOT UNIQUE".</div>

<div>Please help me how to fix or how to avoid those errors. I
met those errors many times, so I cannot do my work further. </div>
