Then you can use other plugins by renaming the copy and root versions of your plugin so other plugins can be used with sketchup as a medium.
I do not post to TRNSYS often because I typically use energy plus but like to read up on TRNSYS and may find a need for its flexibility.
This post made me wonder about something i read about, Energy Plus TRNSYS co-simulation that is. I wonder if anyone knows of a type that might tye into Energy plus external interface object or BCVTB that allows for this co-simulation?
It would be interesting for me to experiment with, as i only have the free trnsys version and find Energy Plus with design builder to work for most but not all simulation goals, so it would be very interesting to be able to call .bui from .idf or vise versa . ..

Following the tutorial for trnsys3d, i get to the step that trnsys asks for a idf file. I did save as idf my trnsys3d project, but I got a message that the program cant find a BUI file. What is the problem?
Thasnk you for your advice.
