TRNSYS 14.2

[Al-Alawi Mohsin A <alawi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all in List;
I have recently join your list group. At our department, we have just
installed the TRNSYS 14.2 in our NT machines for students. As a new user
to TRNSYS, I have the following questions:

1. I tried to use prebid, but whenever I try  to add a layer, it says "no
layer in library". does this mean I have to create my own material library
first? The same thing is for wall, window, ... 
2. What is the difference between prebid and bid?

Thank you.
Mohsin
