Dear Lampros, When I saved and reopen the idf file, Outiner window showed 17 shading
objects (!) see attached idf file. Even though I believe that it automatically
created one object per surface, it is important to know 1.
Is this normal? => Yes this is normal. Thr pluginallows you to draw
several shading surfaces into one group because it is more convienent than
creating a group for each surface. 2.
Does this affect
my calculations? 3.
Can I do
something to make it behave properly? 4.
Why does outliner
window of my skp, even though it produces errors, shows the shading
objects properly? Best regards, Dipl.-Ing.

[mailto:lkaralis@metal.ntua.gr] Dear All, I am working with the latest version of the TRNSYS 3d plugin on windows
XP and using the trnsys 17.00019 version of the simulation Studio. I already have sketched my building and defined the zones in it, as
described on the manual. The most common problems I have met so far have to do with some error
messages when I try to use the skp file. However I read Mr. ‘s Duffy note
that we should only use the idf file, and therefore I did not worry. My main problem begun when I started drawing the shadow objects that
affect my building. I did defined the objects as noted on the tutorial
(version June 2010) and on the Outliner Window I could see two Shading Object
groups, (one for the nearby building that affect mine and one for a second
construction that is attached to my building) Please see attached skp file. When I saved and reopen the idf file, Outiner window showed 17 shading
objects (!) see attached idf file. Even though I believe that it automatically
created one object per surface, it is important to know 5.
Is this normal? 6.
Does this affect
my calculations? 7.
Can I do
something to make it behave properly? 8.
Why does outliner
window of my skp, even though it produces errors, shows the shading
objects properly? Any help would be most appreciated, specially on questions #1, #2 Best Regards Lampros Karalis |
