[Equest-users] Exterior Windows misplaced

You seem to have the first floor with a 'floor-to-floor' height of 25 ft and a 'floor-to ceiling' height of 8 ft. which seems a bit peculiar (the same thing for your second shell)

Your second shell is only located at a height of 10 ft so your shells are overlapping. I'm not sure if that's effecting your windows appearing but it's definitely somewhere to start!

Thank you for the pointer! I have attached the requested files. As you will be able to see if you go into the custom windows editor, I have input a row of windows on the western-most wall, but when you go back to the 3D view they appear on the northern end of the east elevation. There are also windows on the northern wall adjacent to the western-most wall that are gone and i'm not certain where they disappeared to. There are a few more issues with misplacement, but I'm sure if one can be figured out it will likely solve the problem for all of them.

Thanks again!

Welcome to our  group Ryan :)!
Pretty impressive, first model, dwg file, custom windows-you are ahead of the game....

There can be many reasons why you're having issues.
What we typically do in a request like yours is to ask you to attach/zip your pd2., inp and bdl file and send it to the users list-much easier to troubleshoot.

Best, Nikola

Subject: [Equest-users] Exterior Windows misplaced

I am very new to eQuest and am working on completing my very first model. I imported a .dwg file to set up the building footprint and zones and have begun on exterior elevations. I have been inputting my exterior glazing using the "Custom Window/Door Placement..." option in the DD Wizard. I have all the windows input correctly, but when I back out and go to the 3-D view of the building, some of the windows are on the wrong walls, and some I am not seeing at all (unless they are 'doubling up' on one of the other walls). I am not sure if I have made an error in the earlier stages of constructing the model thus far, or if this is some type of glitch. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any advice?
I have seen that I can go in and change the parent wall for the misplaced windows in the detailed edit mode, but would just like to figure this out for future models going forward.
Thanks!
Ryan
