adjacen zones Design Builder

Dear Users of Design Builder.,

I am preparing my first model in DB. Unfortunately it is block of flats (not
just single family building). I am going to calculate energy demand of this
building (heating, artificial lighting), and then thermal comfort acc. to
Givoni guidelines for summer.

My question is how can I check if software see that one zone is adjacent to
another?
Regard zones on the same level I see the names of adjacent zones in the
brackets, next to partitions names. But how can I check it for zones
adjacent by floor or ceiling?
If the same way, it is mean that my first and second floor dosen't see to
each other - how can I change it?

Regards,
Karol

Dear Karol,
While you may get good answers here, I think that the DesignBuilder forum
is a better place to ask software-specific questions.
