Nidal and David,
I’m not sure if I understand problem, but I have just create single-family house and I modeled only exterior door.
I defined this door as window and create this door using WINDOW 6 (software of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory – free download): u-value=2.6 W/m^2K and g-value=0.144
It seems to me that interior door are also possible to define this way.
It seems to me that in Google SketchUp edge of window/door can’t overlap with edge of wall. To respect this you can make door which begin a few centimeters above lower edge of wall
I’m beginner in TRNSYS, so I’m not sure if my ideas are well!!!
I enclose pdf with instruction how to create window in WINDOW and introduce it to TRNBuild library.
Good luck

Nidal,
This is a bit of a problem in the Trnsys3D plugin; the developers are working on a solution. I have had some success in breaking my wall up into a "wall" part and a "door" part but this can be tricky because you don't want the door to get recognized as a window. I then set the two parts as different wall types and take care of correcting the construction in TRNBuild.
If there are not very many doors in your zone, I would recommend that you just ignore them. I only took them into account because I was simulating a garage that had well insulated wall and completely uninsulated (very large) garage doors.
Best,
David

I am working with multi-zone building using TRNbuild, and I wonder if you can help me how I can add or identify a DOOR to the one zone building.
Also I could'nt add or identify a door by using Trnsys3D.
