e-Quest?ers,
How can we model a building with different ceiling heights in e-Quest. For
an example, In Commercial complex, retail shop has 12? ceiling height where
as theatre at the same floor has different height. If there is any option in
e-Quest?? Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Hey GK,
I think options in the wizards may be limited/non-existent to vary
ceiling heights for a given shell (you might try doubleclicking the
zones in the mini-view under screen #2 of the DD shell wizard), but in
detailed it's relatively simple:
Go to 3D view, open a space in the tree to the left, and start by
playing with the 'flr-to-clg' property for the space - adjusting that
automatically adjusts the geometries of the associated internal/external
surfaces and the volume of the associated zone in one step. If you have
a plenum, you may need to modify that separately. Play with the
Z-coordinate to move a space floor up/down. The effects of any such
adjustments should be easy to immediately observe in the 3D view behind
the dialog.
