Dear TRNSYS users,
here is an important note from the OpenStudio community
that also affects Trnsys3d.
Please update your Google Sketchup 8
version!
Christian
When SketchUp 8 came out there was a bug that affected the
push pull tool when you typed in a number for a distance vs. using the mouse.
That has now been fixed and can be manually downloaded or updated by using
SketchUp’s “Check for Update” item under the help menu. You will be able to
update or install right on top of the original SketchUp 8, and all of your
plugins including OpenStudio will remain intact and ready to use. For reference, here is a description of the problem that has
been addressed. Once you upgrade your version of SketchUp you no longer have to
use these work arounds. “Using push/pull to extrude a surface loses a vertex from
new surfaces when entering the extrude distance in the measurement box. People
with this bug see missing vertices from surfaces when reopening the .idf file.
To avoid this issue before SketchUp is updated, enter guidelines or use other
geometry to snap to instead of typing an extrude distance. Another alternative
is to create and extrude your geometry outside of an EnergyPlus zone, then cut
the geometry and paste in place from inside of your zone object. If you have
SketchUp 7 installed, you can also use that until a SketchUp 8 maintenance
release comes out.” Here is a link to the SketchUp release notes http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=release_notes.cs And here is a download page. http://sketchup.google.com/index.html |
