[Bldg-sim] Floors Built into Grade

Kind of depends on what modelling tool you choose.  DesignBuilder make this
easy as you just draw the ground next to the building using the ground
obstructions component type (from memory) and it then assigns the correct
adjacency conditions to your model.  To do different wall panels you just
use sub-panels.
 
IES, you can do similar you just have to set adjacency conditions within the
model.  Seeing they now have their google sketchup link that might make it
quite easy to do too.  Same sort of thing in TAS.
 
Not sure in E-quest, but I'm sure someone will let you know.

Hello:

 

I was wondering how do I model a building that is built into a hill side
where portions of floors are exposed and portions are below grade.  Any help
would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you, 

 

Josh
