Re: [TRNSYS-users] error reading buffer: window surface number is not unique

[David Bradley <bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Filippo,
  It sounds as though two windows in your *.bui file have been
assigned the same surface number. The easiest way to fix the problem is
to open the *.bui file in Notepad and reassign one of the surface
numbers, then reopen in TRNBuild. If you are not comfortable doing that,
I would suggest that you send the TRNSYS 16 version of the *.bui file to
your distributor and have them correct it for you.
Kind regards,
 David
