Re: [TRNSYS-users] trnsys3D plugin reconstruction

Dear Geoffrey,
 
the modell looks like that you started drawing based on a GOOGLE SKETCHUP model and then build up the Trnsys3d zones.
I made the experience that this can cause a lot of problems like walls are disappearing, two walls are appearing at the same place, if I erase a wall
and reload the drawing then there's still the wall existing, etc........
 
So in order to avoid these problems I made the experience that after I built up the modell in the combined model (SKP and IDF) I have to copy the whole idf geometry out of the zones
to a new SKETCHUP drawing and to redefine the zones like:
 
1) Basis Sketchup geometry
 
 
2) Redraw the skp geometry in an idf zone
 
3) Copy the geomtry inside a zone
 
4) Open in parallel another Sketchup and insert a Zone
 
5) Paste in Place the geometry
 
That's it.
 
Then to stop the error message while opening GOOGLE SKETCHUP you have to deactivate the Trnsys3d Plugin by the menu Window - > Preferences
 
 
Restart GOOGLE SKETCHUP and reactivate Trnsys3d.

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] trnsys3D plugin reconstruction

Dear trnsys users

 

I encounter the following problem when using trnssolar 3D plugin for sketchup:

 

When I try to reopen a .idf fil build the previous days, many surfaces appears to be badly interpreted.

 

The figure attached shows the problem.

 

I got the following error message:

 

ERROR:

ArgumentError

Duplicate points in array

C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/Trnsys3d/lib/MenuManager.rb:70:in `call'

 

 

I use Sketchup 7.1.6860 and the plugin 1.0.4.85. using the 1.0.5.1 version of the plugin doesn’t seem to help.

 

Does anyone knows about those issues?

 

Best regards.
