Susan,
 
This problem is toward the top of my wish-list for eQUEST solutions. See
this previous post for some ideas:

Any exterior surfaces that you model (including roofs) will be treated
as though they are exposed to the outdoors, even if you put another
shell on top of, or next to them.
 
Regards,
Bill

I am working on a very complex building where each floor is a different
shape and the floors get smaller as the building gets taller.  This
leads to the need for many partial roofs.  Is there an easy way to do
this?  The geometry is rather complex and if there is a way to
accomplish this in the wizard I would love to know.

Also, does anyone know what the implication would be if I just put a
roof over the entire floor even though technically this is not the case?

Thanks in advance!
