A curved roof should be modeled by an equivalent faceted roof.
There is no need to have too many facets. In my opinion an octagon
in place of a circle is sufficient for modeling purposes.<br>
<br>
The libraries of existing roof, wall, and floor constructions can
be viewed in TRNBuild. You can also open those files (located
in..\Trnsys17\Building\Lib\...\Prgwall.lib) using a text editor such
as Notepad.<br>
<br>
kind regards,<br>
