Underground building

Hy guys,

I am new to e- Quest and I have a very interesting building to model. I
am talking about a building that it is 2 stories partial underground and
I say partial because the north part of the building it is exposed and
made of glass. I also have a connection thru a tunnel underground with a
pavilion entrance that it is 2 stories above grade. I am not sure how to
build this model and the only idea that came to me was to build the
whole thing above grade and the walls that are underground to assume
that exposed to 55 degrees but I don't know if that's possible either.
Do you have any ideas? Any suggestions would help. Thank you.

Sometimes it is hard to visualize what a person is asking when there are 3 or 4 different things they ask. But I will try.

I built a museum in eQuest that was basically built into the foothills of a major city. I simply built the different floors into the different "steepes" and alllowed the walls that are underground to remain underground. Even if the whole building were underground, eQuest would model the walls as underground walls.

I DID need to change some of the walls from exterior to underground in the .INP file, which is not haed. Wish I had more time to send you an example.
