<div dir="ltr">Thanks for your reply, Jacob. I have a few followup questions.<div><br></div><div>I was hoping there's a way to reimport a modified idf into an existing Sim Studio model.

Also, the tutorial hasn't referred to the <i>bldname</i>_b17.idf file that's created during import into Sim Studio. Is this now obsolete? I've never understood how this file could get updated. Can I only worry about the idf and b17 files?</div><div><br></div><div>OK - one last question. A screenshot in the tutorial shows a .b18 extension. I'm using 17.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">After creating a multizone building using TRNSYS3d (in SketchUp Make 2016) and successfully linking to it in Sim Studio, I can't figure out how to edit the building in TRNSYS3d (i.e. create a new .idf file) and have my existing Sim Studio
model (looking for _b17.idf and .b17) see the new building. <br clear="all">
