Assigning Cooling Sources to Zones

Is there anyway to assign a heat pump to an assigned zone? I currently
have made 11 zones so I want to assign a heat pump to each zone. The
only chooses I am given are very general, like All Core Above Grade
Zones and All Perimeter Above Grade Zones. What is the point of making
the different zones if I can not assign anything to them? I am working
from the Building Wizard on page 1 of the Air-System Type.

If anyone can help me understand this or to perform the task I want to
do that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

It works much better to create "zone groups" on the zone group screen of the
building shell wizard, and then select your HVAC system for each zone
group. I've found that selecting zones to be served from the HVAC screen to
be unreliable.

You can also make any changes you wish in the detailed mode.

When I selected Air-Side System and go down to the last two drop boxes
on the bottom of the screen, I select the shell component that I am
working on. Do I then leave the description of assigned zones to the
default of All Zones?

Thanks,
