[Equest-users] Adjacent Shells

[Nick Caton]

Robert - Thanks so much for that heads-up!  Some further questions
though...

 

I've observed that separate shells sharing the exact same vertices will
default the shared walls to be "partially adiabatic" in the same
manner/location you've described...

 

1.       I think this still necessitates going into detailed mode and
making them interior walls associated with the correct adjacent zone, if
you don't want to call them adiabatic.  Is that right?

2.       This is obviously a real time-saver for a number of situations,
but attached and below is a screenshot of my case-in-point:  When
modeling courtyards by using a footprint that cuts through the interior
(as has been described in other posts), it looks like we can right-click
the "cutting" lines that are ~1" apart to define them as adiabatic, but
is there any way to zoom in this view that I'm missing to be sure this
has been done correctly to all of the affected walls?  It appears that
you can only select one specific wall when they're that close together
from this zoomed perspective...  This screengrab shows purple lines
where I've tried to perform this action, but if you squint you'll see it
appears I have both a purple and black line in some locations, and I
can't seem to right click with enough accuracy to define each of them...

 

Thanks again Robert and to everyone sharing their insights!  Apologies
if my mspaint markup is hard on the eyes!

Go to the "Building Footprint" wizard screen.  The wizard displays a
plan view of your shell.  You can right-click on any wall and change it
to an exterior wall (default), an entirely adiabatic wall or a partially
adiabatic wall.

 

Hope this helps -

Robert

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.
