The way I have handled multi level zoning is to build
one floor at a time in the wizard and saving it as a
different file. Then I manually go to the inp file and
change all the names of the spaces and associated
polygons and zones by doing a simple search and
replace using textpad. Finally, I import the inp file
of the second floor in the detailed interface.
Hope this helps.
