[TRNSYS-users] Type125 & SketchUp

[Damien Tavan]

Hi Brian,

You were quite close! The only thing you missed is that names are case
sensitive so, since your zone names are uppercase, the values in Type 125
should be "FRONT" instead of "Front", etc...
Then you just have to load the resulting .eso file in the Rendering
Settings of TRNSY3D, select "Zone" as variable type, and you'll get
"Temperatures (Hourly)" in both Inside and Outside Variable Names.
Use the shadow tool in Sketchup (Window -> Shadows) to navigate throughout
the year and observe the changes in temperature.

Best,

**

> Hi,

> I'm trying to import an .eso file back into TRNSYS after going through the

> Summary of steps:
> 1) Create .idf with SketchUp + TRNSYS3D plugin
> 2) Create .tpf using 3D Bld Project
> 3) Use Type125 to generate .eso {as per tutorial to the best of my
> knowledge}
> 3) Load _b17 in SketchUp and link .eso under render/settings
>
> Everything SEEMED to have gone OK.  The .eso file has meaningful zone

> Attached is a zip file with original files and some (important)
> intermediate files generated along the way.

> Any help will be appreciated.
