dear equest-users, I come across a problem with modelling a building with sinking atrium. Attached is the profile. the space between the garage and the dining hall which was orriginally underground space are removed away making a sinking courtyard. this will affect the envolope thermal exchange, solar heat gain and ligting of the under grounfd dining hall area. i can't figure out an approprite way to solve this problem. thank you for any suggestion!

Perhaps use two shells? One for the atrium, the other for the rest of the building? You will likely have to go into detail data edit mode afterward to make sure the adjoining walls are not all adiabatic? Just a thought.
