[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS3D with Sketchup 8 does not recognise surfaces except first rectangle placed

[C.J. Cundy]

Hi users,

I'm following the tutorial for TRNSYS3D that comes with the package, 
however once I pull the rectangle up, the side walls and roof do not 
change colour, staying white, and manually selecting them and changing 
their type only changes the floor rectangle colour. If I try and add 
windows they aren't recognised as being windows. If I try and add more 
rectangles while staying inside the TRNSYS3D zone, the rectangles do not 
appear as TRNSYS3D objects at all: the info window reads 'No EnergyPlus 
object selected'.

Does anyone know what's going on? I think this is the same issue that
