How to Show Complete Building in eQUEST

Hello All,
I am modeling a sixteen floor building and eQUEST does not show the identical repeated floors as per the snapshot below maybe to reduce the time of rendering and the simulation. However, is there a way we can let eQUEST show the full building with all the floors and does not hide any floor?

Regards
Ahmad

Hi Ahmad,

For all floors to show you need to model all of them. In other words, don?t use floor multipliers.

Yep. Floor multipliers are a borderline essential tool to leverage for very large facilities and campus models covering multiple near-identical buildings/floors/systems. You can observe substantial gains on simulation/load time, which can on occasion save you many hours of net development time (i.e. late hours when you should be resting up for your next analysis!!).

That said, I typically advise newer energy model practitioners to experiment with but not rely heavily on floor multipliers with their first (simpler) projects, as using floor/shell multipliers entails a number of minor quirks with regard to defining systems and interpreting certain model output reports.

In the DD wizards, you are looking to tick/untick this box in the first screen of your shell(s):
