[Equest-users] Undergound floor

[Bruce Easterbrook]

I hope you are paying attention to the other thread happening right now, 
Re: [Equest-users] Understanding Floors.  In my opinion if you are 
editing polygons it is because you have not used the DD wizard properly 
and you have got too far into your model to go back.  It is explaining 
how you should have began your model construction.  The DD wizard will 
allow you to construct as many shells as you like to make a floor.  
eQuest uses a bit of hocus-pocus to do underground layers as many of the 
modelling softwares do.  Even if you get your polygons right eQuest is 
probably not going to analyze them correctly.

On the "Create Polygon" dialog box that pops up, you choose "Copy an existing component" as your "Creation Option" and the component to copy will be automatically chosen as the original polygon. From there, you modify it to your convenience.
