<p>Daniel,</p>
<p> You are brave! I edit lots of things by hand in the *.b17 (and
*.b18) file but I have never tried to touch the geometry! I think
you'll be okay provided that you are not trying to generate a
shading mask and providing that none of your zones use the
detailed radiation models.</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>
<p> David</p>

<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color:
#000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear TRNSYS users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am modelling a multizone 3D building with Type 56 and
tried my luck with directly editing the .b17 building file. I
have adjusted surface areas of walls, windows and roofs as
well as changed wall types from external to adjacent with
their corresponding surfaces.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It works fine as the simulation runs smoothly, but I am
wondering about the last part of the building file where it
says "_EXTENSION_BuildingGeometry_START_". It seems that all
vertex points of each wall, window and roof are stored here.
As I edited surface areas of walls but not their vertex points
in that file, the vertex points resulting area isn't the same
as the changed area of the walls.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is that somehow going to affect my simulation in any way?
For what part of the simulation are the vertex points
necessary? Is it not advised to edit the .b17 at all manually?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All input is greatly appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>

<div>PS: Any input to my question about the topic "<span

"Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;">Surface Gain Inside - Pane Temp Error" in
the archive</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> would be
welcomed too, where I'm struggling to implement a heat gain
input to an inside surface.</span></div>
