[Equest-users] Modeling of courtyard

[Nick Caton]

Hi Sheelam,

There are multiple approaches used commonly to effect exterior/interior courtyards with the eQuest wizards, chosen by preference of the modeler.  For unconditioned (exterior) courtyards, I find the shell "cutting method" most intuitive.  Attached are a few past discussions that include illustrations of the concept.  These and many more similar discussions reside in the mailing list archives.

I encourage you to subscribe and post directly to the mailing list in the future:  equest-users at lists.onebuilding.org - I'm merely one of many contributors and you'll often find addressing a larger body conducive to a quicker response.  The other advantage is you can get a representation of many perspectives that way as well, and no single individual has all the answers =).  

Best of luck for your endeavors!

~Nick
