You can import an AutoCAD file into eQuest, and trace around the envelope to
build your model. I have never done it personally, but it is in the latest
eQuest Training manual.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] cad/modeling interface


General question for the list:    
 
What is the latest progress and developments on the subject of integrating
architectural CAD drawings of building shell into hourly energy modeling
programs like DOE2 or EPlus?
 
Are there software interfaces out there that have gotten this down to a
usable product, or are we still a few years out?
What are the obstacles to implementing this?  Any success stories that
people care to share?  Any specific products that people have used?
 
Thanks!
Sincerely,
