[Equest-users] Flat roof and pitch roof on the same building?

[Bishop, Bill]

Tracy,

There are at least two ways I can think of to model a combination of
pitched and flat roofs relatively easily.
	1.) Check the "Pitched Roof" checkbox and then the "Custom Roof
Footprint" box in the wizard. Define the roof footprint as being the
pitched roof section only. Then add flat roof surfaces in DD 	edit
mode.
	2.) In the Design Development wizard, create the first building
shell based on the pitched roof main worship area only. Then add
building shell(s) for the rest of the building, leaving "Pitched
Roof" unchecked.

Option one is simpler and probably easier to implement. Details on
implementing both of these options can be found by searching the
archives.

Regards,
Bill

Hello,

According to what I have been reading getting eQuest to accept two 
different roof styles on the same model is a challenge and maybe not 
even possible.  Can someone tell me it that is the case.  I have a 
church I am modeling and some of the rooms on the perimeter have a flat 
roof that runs up against the pitch roof of the main worship area.

If I make two different models for the roof condition how do I bring 
them together for a complete system analysis?
