<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px">I tried importing the .idf file into TRNBuild but it says it can not locate the .b17 file (which should be created when the project is created). After trying to import my .idf file, it creates 2 more files in
the directory. One text file that adds the extension '_trnsidf' and another .idf file that adds the extension '_ps.idf'.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px"> </div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px">I also tried to open the 3d building example .idf file that is installed with the program but that does the same as my .idf file.</div>

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px"><font size="2"><font color="gray">"The wizard reads in the *.idf file that you chose and based on the information therein, generates a building description file (*.b17) and a TRNSYS Project File (*.tpf); a fully
functional TRNSYS simulation is set up and the required links are generated. </font>
