You have to use a program called "PREP", which is included with TRNSYS. 
Please refer to Chapter 5 in the TRNSYS manual for more information 
about PREP.

There may be good reasons to use Type19, but have you considered using 
Type56 for your project? Even if you only have one zone, Type 56 will be 
much easier to use (especially to define your own walls) thanks to the 
PREBID visual interface.

Kind regards,
