Dear Francis
I would suggest you not to waste your time by trying to find out how to create a building's geometry through the idf editor. This is what EnergyPlus is worst at, there are a lot of user friendly graphic interfaces, some of them free and some of them you can purchase. Through them you will design your buildings. This is what I suggest you to do. And then you should focus in Energy Plus for the various installations that you can find in buildings. Via EnergyPlus you can model almost everything.
Best Regards
Tasos

moment. I am having a problem with create a 2-story building geometry
