Thank you very much for your suggestion. I
followed your instructions to export the .idf file from
TRNBuild. After that, I opened the new .idf file in SketchUp.
The building was not distorted. This situation leads me to
believe that there might be a problem with the interaction
between TRNViewBUI and the .idf file. Is it possible to say it
is safe to use the .idf file for further simulation studies?
Cem,
I have not run into this kind of problem before. However,
the *.idf looks fine. One thing you might try is to open the
*.b18 file in TRNBuild and select "export Trnsys3D file..."
from the File menu. That will create a new *.idf file based
on the geometry that TRNBuild understands. The distorted
view looks as though one of the wall vertices might have
gotten written incorrectly. Once the new *.idf is created
open it in SketchUp; if the building is distorted then try
reimporting the original *.idf (the one you attached) into
TRNBuild.
kind regards,
David

Hi All,
I created a
3D building model(see attached) using the TRNSYS 3D
plugin on Sketchup. I imported the .idf file into the
TRNBuild. After that, I checked the surfaces in the GUI,
and I couldn't find any problems. However, when I
checked the 3D building model in the trnViewBUI
extension, the model was highly distorted(see attached).
I am not sure if there was an error in the .idf file or
the TRNViewBUI extension. Has anyone encountered a
problem like this before?
Regards,
Cem
