[Equest-users] Modeling in eQuest

[Fisnik Rushiti]

Omar,

it looks like the model is done in Revit, if the model is done in Revit than
you have good chance to define rooms (as zones, Spaces) in Revit, export 
as gbxml (see this path: 
http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Revit/enu/2013/Help/00001-Revit_He0/1468-Document1468/2171-Print_Ex2171/2172-Export2172/2222-Exportin2222)
the good thing is that if you follow the rules you will get very good 
model, if not 100% of it in eQuest as shown on your image, see also: 
http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/bldg-sim-onebuilding.org/2008-January/006560.html
the trick is you have to be in detail mode (out of the wizards) to work 
in this model while in eQuest.

Regards,
Fisnik
