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?
=> Yes, this is the required input and
therefore it is working fine J
3.
Can I do
something to make it behave properly?
=> No, this is the proper behavour
4.
Why does outliner
window of my skp, even though it produces errors,
shows the shading
objects properly?
=> because it’s not an error.
Best
regards,
Marion

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
