Re: [TRNSYS-users] Adjacent surfaces with TrnSys 3D

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Olivier,
  SketchUp is pretty good at "snapping" new lines to existing vertices. I rely very heavily on that when drawing adjacent walls in two zones. It also helps to type in measurements of wall lengths and wall heights instead of trying to use the mouse to set the length.
Best,
 David

Hi,

 

When drawing a model in SketchUp, two surfaces should have exactly the same vertices to be recognized as adjacent with the “matching surfaces” tool. However it’s quite difficult to obtain perfect adjacency when drawing on SketchUp.

I found that it can be fixed in TrnBuild within using the manual geometry mode and matching adjacent surfaces.

But then it’s not possible to modify the model with SketchUp again, since the geometry mode has been changed to “manual”.

Is there a method or tricks to avoid this problem?

 

Thanks in advance,
