[Equest-users] Multiple wall and floor types in same shell level

Detailed data edit, you will be spending a lot of time altering and creating new polygons.

Probably the easiest way is to break it up into multiple shells, unless somebody has found success doing it another way. Create one shell for your slab-on-grade, and one shell on top of your ambient spaces. You can create one shell on top of another by changing the "Z" coordinate in the Wizard.

Same for the basement. One shell will be needed for the portion of the basement with below-grade walls, and a 2nd shell for the above-grade walls.

I have only ever had to do that once so there is probably some expertise in the group that has an easier solution.

Good luck.

How do I model a shell floor where part is over a basement level that is office space, part is slab on grade (the first floor is twice as large as the second floor), and part of the floor is over ambient airspace.
Also, my basement is not fully below grade.  Two of my walls are fully above grade, the other two are below grade?  How do I make that distinction in eQuest?
