[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
