Hello, all,

I have a question regarding modeling roof in eQUEST. In the high-rise building that I am going to model, each floor will have partly exposed floor (the bottom floor has the largest footprint and gradually reduced foot print in the upper floors) and shape is complicated.

Does someone has some experience to model the roof? Since each floor has partly exposed roof, when I model the roof as adiabatic, then the exposed roof will be missing. If I model the whole floor with roof, then lots of roof will be redundant. If I delete these redundant roof, then some zones will be exposed to the exterior without roof while there should be some roof area.

I found it is difficult to create roof shape with plolygon in eQUEST. Is the separation of the parts with and without roof into different shells the best way to model this condition or is there any better methods?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,

David
