[Equest-users] Custom Zoning Problems

[Nick Caton]

Hi Alfred,

 

It's hard to know exactly what's going on without some pictures, but
from your description I'd suggest making certain the boundaries of your
custom zones along the perimeter are matching the boundary of your shell
footprint precisely.  If they're slightly inside the line, what should
be exterior walls will be generated as interior partitions.

Subject: [Equest-users] Custom Zoning Problems

 

So I am beginning to teach myself the ins and outs of using eQuest. I am
still in the beginning stages and have run into problems with custom
zoning. I have a 5-story building and am using a different shell for
each on in DD. I completed that with any problems. Then I went to add
custom zones for each floor. When I do this and click finish to generate
the 3-D Geometry the exterior walls vanished and are replaced by the
newly created zone walls. 

 

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and a way to fix it?
Thanks.
