[Equest-users] Modeling a semi-underground floor

[Carol Gardner]

Danny,

I would do this the same way as Adam with a revision or two. I would 
start with the underground wall at the proper full depth and then edit 
it using the detailed edit mode. I would replace the underground walls 
with the exterior walls because I think it's a little easier than 
messing with underground heat-transfer, etc.
