[Bldg-sim] SD Wizard Rendering of Building

[Brian Fountain]

Yes -

In the first screen of the shell wizard the "Floor Multiplier" check box 
is selected.  This will create a top floor, a bottom floor and a middle 
floor with a multiplier for the number of storeys of the shell less 2 
(for the top & bottom).  This speeds calculations (especially for 
many-storey structures) and looks silly.  If you clear the check box, 
all floors will be created (which looks better and simulates slower).
