[Equest-users] Extenal Roof and Interior floors

[Brian Fountain]

Yup - eQUEST builds an external roof over your entire lower shells if 
you define a roof for the shell, not just the exposed bits.  So, if you 
have a building with decreasing footprints, you either have to add roofs 
in in the detailed edit and leave them out of the wizard, or define them 
in the wizard and then delete the non-exposed sections in the detailed 
interface.  This is one of my biggest frustrations with eQUEST -- mostly 
because it was a client who caught this one for me as I had triple the 
roof area of the actual building (not good for credibility).
