If its an identical floor, just use the 'floor multiplier' option on the
floor properties dialog of the floor you'd like to duplicate.  Then add
the floor height of the duplicated floor to the absolute Z elevations of
all floors above.  Note that the Z elevation is also found on the floor
properties dialog, of the respective floors that need to be jacked up.  
 
There's only one minor issue... the duplicated floor won't be depicted
graphically.  In 3-D geometry view, the building will look like there's
a missing floor.  But in all of the energy reports etc. you should find
that the duplicated floor is accounted for.
 
Now if the floor to be added is NOT identical... that's another can of
worms.  Let me know if this is the case and I can give you some
guidance... but it's not somewhere you want to go if you don't have to.

Hi,

I want to add another floor to my building, but I am already within the
detail interface. Is there a way that I could go back into the wizard
and create another floor without creating problems?

Thanks for any advise that can be provided!

Regards,
Alexandra Waranowski
