[Equest-users] SD Bldg Shell -Change in bldg shell order

[Sam Siassi]

Hello Pranita,

In the wizard mode, when you want to place a shell on top of another one,
the order matters. If you created the E1d after you created E2, then the
wizard does not give you the option to put it on top of it as it does not
show it in the dropdown menu. You can checkmark the "specify exact
coordinate" under that dropdown menu and write the coordinates accordingly
(So whatever it is for E1d but change the Z value to be on top of it).

Hope this helps
