I believe that there is a 999 surface limit in TRNBuild/Trnsys3D.
However, you are quite far from that and I don't know whether there
is a limit to the number of different orientations that can be
handled. It is normal that there would not be any visible
connections between the Type15 and the Type56; these connections are
made implicitly in Trnsys17 so long as you have "internal" selected
for each ORIENTATION listed in TRNBuild. From your message I am not
entirely clear whether you are getting an error message or whether
Trnsys is not functioning normally. I would recommend that you send
the *.tpf and *.b17 to your distributor for some assistance.<br>
kind regards,<br>

<div>I have created a 3D model of a building with 87 external
surfaces, using Sketchup. When I import this model using the
3D Building Wizard, the resulting model includes two Type15
weather units. The first Type15 unit has 25 surfaces, most
of which are linked to the radiation calculator, the
second Type15 unit has 62 surfaces, with only one connection
to the radiation calculator and this connection has a
duplicate name and is therefore invalid. There are no
connections between the Radiation Calculator and the Type56
unit.</div>

</div>
<div>I thought that the issue might be related to a limit on
the number of constants allowed, so I modified
TrnsysConstants.F90 and rebuilt TRNDll.dll, but the same
issue occurs. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can manually merge the two Type15 units by modifying
the input file, but manually linking everything will be
quite tedious. I would prefer to figure out how to make the
wizard work correctly, if possible. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any ideas on what to try next? </div>
