I think you should check the accurately Z coordinate for the second floor , there are differences between the underground and above ground shells ☺

I tried this method, but it looks like the only way I can get it to work properly is by manually creating separate floors in the .INP file.

I typically find that using ‘via coordinates’ rather than directly above works a lot better for me when lining up my shells. Maybe this will work for you!

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 1st floor.  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.

[cid:image002.jpg at 01CF69D5.C3351460]

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.

[cid:image003.jpg at 01CF69D5.C3351460]

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