<p>Toni,</p>
<p> Getting the geometry converted is not too hard. I think all
you'd need to do is open SketchUp/Trnsys3d using the appropriate
template (*.b18 or *.b17) and then import the resulting *.idf file
with the appropriate version of TRNBuild. If you have added a lot
of data to the *.b18 in TRNBuild already then things might be a
little more difficult. You can export the *.b18 back to an *.idf
but I think that TRNBuild from v17 would have a very hard time
importing that *.idf to make a *.b17 from it.</p>
<p> Depending on how brave you are, you could try the following.
Import the building geometry into TRNBuild v17 and create a *.b17
file. Open both that file and the *.b18 file using a text compare
tool (I use CompareIt) and start moving things from the *.b18 file
over to the *.b17 file one piece at a time. TRNBuild's syntax is
pretty transparent although there are some definitions (such as
the definition of a VENTILATION) that have changed between v17 and
v18. You could open another, more complete b17 file using a text
editor to see what the syntax looked like in v17.</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>
<p> David</p>
