Hi Garrett,
you should at least create the building footprint the thermal zoning and the custom windows in the wizard then you can move into DDedit mode for everything else.

I've made a list of inputs that would be needed while going through wizards and have set goals out to limit the number of shells to keep my model simple enough to work with, but still represent my actual building. There are a few things about actual parts of the shell the I've learned from this user help page, i.e. don't worry about sandwich rooms until detailed design process and fine tuning. My question is there any other advise that can be given as far as a starting a model, what things to look for and what to avoid. I know that there are a lot of great articles throughout the archives that will be helpful in this process, but as usual time is of the essence. Any quick thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
