Hi,
I have a 3 story building, 2 of which are above grade and have the same
footprint, 1 is below grade and a different footprint.
I have modeled it in Equest using the wizard and all 3 floors are
currently the same footprint size. Is there a way I can 'shrink' the
basement floor to make it a smaller footprint then the floors above it?
Thanks
Jack,
Leave out the below grade floor for the building shell on wizard screen
1. Then create a new shell "immediately below" the other shell (as
selected on screen 1). Alternatively, you can "Specify Exact
Coordinates" such as (0,0,-12). This shell will have 0 above grade and 1
below grade floor. Change the footprint on screen 2.

You can create separate "shells" for each footprint that is different. You need to be in the DD Wizard and create new shells as indicated below:
