Re: [TRNSYS-users] Fenestration surfaces automatically generated TRNSYS 3D

Adam,
  That is usually an indication that somehow the window that you added did not get assigned to a zone. I'd recommend that you delete the windows, make sure you select a zone, then start readding them a few at a time and importing them into TRNBuild to make sure that they're getting assigned correctly. It may well be that these are the exact steps that you are following; I have certainly seen Trnsys3d get into trouble assigning fenestrations to zones all of its own accord but I think that deleting them and then importing and saving lots of copies of the *.idf along the way solved my problem in the end.
Kind regards,
 David

Hi All,

I am using TRNSYS 3D to make a model of a building and recently I have entered in the  windows and doors on the building. When I reload it again the plug-in or sketchup has automatically generated zones for each window and called them zones. Below is an example of this.

Can someone explain to me what the issue might be? I am saving regularly to the best of my knowledge. 

"Error:  FenestrationSurface:Detailed, CFD632

This sub surface is missing its base surface: 

A new zone object has been automatically created for this surface.

However it is still missing a base surface."
