[Bldg-sim] buildings with floors with different shapes in eQuest

[Aulbach, John]

Xavier:
 
Why would you want to do it any other way than with the separate shells and glue them together? If your 2nd floor, for example, is larger and your 1st floor, and you put the floors on top of each other (exactly where you want them to mate), eQuest will make the "adiabatic floor/ceiling" between them where they meet, and have the exposed floor meet the outside (won't see the sun upside down, but will feel the temperature).
 
Which is how reality would expect it to be.

Hello,
To create a building with floors that have different shapes with the DD Wizard from eQuest, is there any other possibility than creating a diffrent shell for each group of floors with the same footprint and putting one shell on top of the other? If it is so, I guess that the only possibility for the floor that separates both shells is the adiabatic condition, and therefore heat transfer betwwen floors is not modelled. ¿is there another possibility?
Thanks,
