<p>Mohamed,</p>
<p> If you have not already done so, could you open your *.idf in
SketchUp and resave it, then try the import again into TRNBuild.
If that does not work, you may be able to open the *.b17 that was
created from the former *.idf using TRNBuild from v18 then export
the *.idf from TRNBuild back to SketchUp, resave, then import once
more into TRNBuild.</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>
<p> David</p>
