<p>Maja,</p>
<p> I would leave the default construction's alone in SketchUp and
then adjust them once you get into TRNBuild. I think that in order
to change the construction names/layers you have to actually
change the template *.idf file that SketchUp/Trnsys3d uses to
generate the *.b18 file. As a side note, if you change the
constructions in TRNBuild and then export the *.idf back to
SketchUp, those new constructions will be preserved. <br>

<p>kind regards,</p>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a question concerning the idf file created from
Sketchup (w\ plugin Trnsys3D). <br clear="all">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have created the geometry of a building composed of 4
thermal zones. In the meantime, I've also defined new
constructions instead of using the default ones. To each
surface a construction was assigned, and especially for the
three adjacent walls I set ZONE as condition of Adjacency
(instead of using the default name ADJACENT WALL or ADJ
WALL).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then I saved to idf, tried to import it in TRNbuild and I
got the error "undefined wall type, Zone no. XXX and the
name of the construction". </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, I proceeded by searching each surface in Sketchup,
but it seems no errors are present. I have no idea how to
fix it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If necessary, I'll attach and send also the .idf file for
clearness. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for helping,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BR,</div>
