It seems like you ould surround the lobby with either on or two shells,
Can't see it so hard to visualize whether you can use one. Anyway at
least the first one carefully at x=0, y=0 and z= whatever you height is.
I call it on top of first floor when you are asked, make sure you select
floor over conditioned space, no roof, and then proceed with your
space/zones. The third floor should be easier as you no longer have the
lobby to deal with so it should just be x=0, y=0, and z=top of second
floor. this shell should be specified as being above the second floor,
with the floor over a conditioned space and a roof.

Hope that helps.

If not attach a ,pd2 and.inp file so we can see what you are facing.

I am new to e-Quest and have gone through, or at least tried to go
through the process (DD Wizard) of setting up a project but am running
into issues when trying to add more complex structural features such as
adding a second and third floor (both of which cover the entire
footprint area of the structure) to an open air, ground level parking
area. The parking area does have a small 600 SF conditioned lobby who's
ceiling height extends to the top of the second floor. Is anyone aware
of, or would anyone be willing to allow me access to, step by step
instructional walk-throughs for more complex projects such as I have
described? I look forward to hearing from the group.

 

Thanks,
