[Equest-users] Common walls

[Bishop, Bill]

Pranita,
 
I think this feature was added with version 3.63. Wherever the exterior
walls of two shells occupy the same vertical plane, the eQUEST wizard
creates adiabatic interior walls in adjacent spaces, which is usually
what you would want. It will do this even if the shell heights vary.
Unfortunately, the wizard does not do the same thing when you stack
shells vertically. You have to choose roof or no roof for the entire
shell in the wizard and then remove/create roof surfaces in DD edit mode
if your shells have different footprints.
 
Regards,
Bill

No, eQuest can't handle such complicated things.

Does eQuest understand the common wall areas between 2 buildings (when

Wizardat is the procedure to  fix this.
