[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Is 3D Geometry required?

Ah too bad, I was looking at a way to reduce the number  of zone in my model. It would be nice to lump all the similar zones into one big zone to reduce the complexity and run time. I suppose if this feature was allowed it would break other features in E+.

Thanks for the reply!
