I have fiddled with such difficulties. Try restating the Z component within
the Building coordinat system (absolute Z).



For some reason, the "immediately above" doesnt always work for me. But
redefining the Z component does.

Thank you for the advice.  I was able to fix that issue.  However, now
another issue has come up.  I’ve created two shells in the wizard – one for
the first floor and one for the second floor.  I have defined the 2nd florr
to be “immediately above” the 1st floor.  However, when I move to the
detailed mode, the 2nd floor appears to be on the same plane as the
1stfloor.  It appears like it does not recognize that there is a
second floor
and the zoning is distorted.  No matter what I try, I cannot seem to get
the 2nd floor shell to move.  Any advice?

I have come across similar issues when a zone accidentally had two vertices
with the same point.  Sometimes it helps to run the simulation, then open
the BDL file and search for “Error”, or “Warning”.

If you are still using Equest 3.64 it has a limit on size and this may be
your problem.  The limits were expanded in the latest version 3.65.



You can combine similar zones without a loss of accuracy and simplify your
model.



Hope this helps

So I have a new project in which I have completed drawing the first floor
outline and zones.  See below image showing the completed floor plan.





However, when I go to the detailed mode, many of these zones are not
defined.  It looks like they just do not exist.  See below image.





Has anyone encountered this issue before?  I’ve tried re-drawing the zones
and nothing seems to be working.
