Make sure that you have vertices on your building footprint to match the zone vertices that lie on the exterior wall.

Subject: [Equest-users] Interior/Exterior Walls in the DD Wizard

Hi all,

I am working in the DD Wizard and just built my footprint and zones.  When I go to enter in the glass information, eQuest is telling me that I don't have all of my zones defined and do I really want to define the glass.  When I say yes, it take me into the Custom Window Placement View, but a couple of the walls are not shown as exterior:

[cid:image005.png at 01CB026F.2C079170][cid:image006.png at 01CB026F.2C079170][cid:image007.png at 01CB026F.2C079170][cid:image008.png at 01CB026F.2C079170]

When I check these walls in the Component Tree, it's telling me that they are Interior walls, instead of Exterior.  I have rebuilt these particular zones a few different times now and it keeps thinking they are interior walls.  Am I doing something wrong for the software to think they're Interior walls, or can I change them to Exterior walls in the wizard?  Thanks in advance for the help.
