[Equest-users] eQUEST pitched roof and shell connection

[Bishop, Bill]

Dan,

 

My guess is that you can't do this from the wizard.  If it is really
important to you, you could modify the position of roof elements in the
DD edit mode (it would take time and be frustrating).

As far as the side-by-side shells, from the DD edit mode I would make
new interior walls everywhere there is an exterior wall (make note of
the wall location, such as "V6 of Space Polygon") then delete the
exterior walls.  If there are no walls - just air - where you have the
new interior walls, you can change the Surface Type to "Air".  You may
have to change the Construction, such as to "Default Air Wall
Construction" which is available in the library.

Subject: [Equest-users] eQUEST pitched roof and shell connection

 

Hey all,

 

I am modeling a building that has multiple shells, some having pitched
roofs.  As illustrated in the screenshot below, eQUEST has placed the
pink gable ends on the right and left sides (of the screenshot), when in
actuality they are on the top and bottom (of the screenshot).  Does
anyone know how to change the orientation of pitched roofs?  Also, I
have placed shells side-by-side, but I need them to be connected without
walls in between-is there an easy way to connect side-by-side shells?
Thanks,

 

     -Dan
