Jim:

Will you get the internal heat ransfer between these walls? Or will you care?

We accidentally stumbled onto a way of doing this.
 
If the walls on the zoning tab do not line up with the walls on the shell tab, they will show up as internal walls.
 
Example 1
Shell:
(0,0)  (100,0)  (100,100) (0,100)
Zone:
(1,1) (99,1) (99,99) (1,99)
 
This will create a zone surrounded by 4 internal walls.
 
Example 2
Shell:
(0,0)  (100,0)  (100,100) (0,100)
Zone:
(1,0) (99,0) (99,99) (1,99)
 
Will create a zone with 1 external wall ( on the south side) and 3 internal walls.
 
Hope this helps.
 
 
 
Jim

I am modeling a building with multiple wall types therefore I have 3 shells per floor.  I am trying to figure out how to have the adjacent walls between shells be modeled as interior instead of exterior.  In one of spot they came out as interior, but I am not sure how I did it.  I am trying to do as much in the wizard as possible.   Does anyone know how to do this??
 
Thanks for your help.
