Re: [TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS-users Digest, Vol 193, Issue 2

Hi Toni:

You may want to look into the following:

Hide the lower zone and navigate to the underside of the upper zone;
Designate the underside of the upper zone as type floor and construction: Adjacent Ceiling;
For the lower zone, use dividing lines to mark out the area covered by the upper zone. Change the property of this marked out section to ceiling with construction type: Adjacent ceiling.
The dividing lines are used to ensure that you can change the properties of the section enclosed by the dividing lines;
Based on the pic submitted, the remaining areas seem to already have the designation- roof, so no changes should be necessary there.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Craig

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Problem matching surfaces Trnsys3d

Hi,

I have a problem with the "match surfaces" function in SketchUp. I have a building in which the second floor is smaller compared to the first floor (see the image). When I "match the surfaces", it tells me that the floor of the second floor is an external roof and seems that it does not recognize that the floor of the second floor is connected with the ceiling of the first floor. If the two floors have the same surfaces, it works perfectly but in this special case it does not work. Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot for any help.
