Only way to model two different floor plans is to have two separate shells.


For your other problem, if you trace the outside of the building, and then
when creating your zones leave the interior courtyard empty then the wizard
will not create any space/zones there.  Once in the design mode, delete your
interior walls around the courtyard and create your exterior walls in their
places.  This is the easiest method that I have been able to come up with
thus far in my experiences.
