Modelling Floors with Different Interior Configurations

Dear All,

We are encountering this problem all too often and would like to know if
anybody has a satisfactory solution. For example, in a two storey
building, the interior space configurations in each floor are
considerably different, forcing us to create two separate shells that
sit on top of each other in eQuest schematic wizard. However, when this
is the case, eQuest treats each shell as a separate building and place
exterior surfaces (ie. Roofs) between floors (instead of ceilings). The
times it takes to manually convert these into interior surfaces with the
right intra-space relationships is way out of reasonable limits.

Is there a way to create a shell with floors that each have different
interior layouts (even different exterior footprints for that matter)?

Thanks,
