[BLDG-SIM] eQUEST- adding a roof

[kathryn l]

Greetings,
I am modeling a building with a different footprint for the 1st and 2nd
stories, so I imported the CAD drawings in as 2 different shells and managed
to make it all of the way into detailed mode before noticing the first
floor is entirely covered by an exterior roof.  So, I deleted the 1st flr
exterior roof, but I still need this roof in certain areas b/c the first
floor protrudes beyond the 2nd flr in a few spots and the 1st floor
roof serves as a porch floor for the second story.  I added an 'external
wall' child component for those spaces and copied the existing roof's
characteristics.  Unfortunately, it is showing up as pure white as
if nothing is there and I can't figure out why or if eQUEST is recognizing
it as a roof or if it is recognizing this area as a hole.  Any experience
with this?

I changed the properties tab to exactly match the 2nd story roof
including answering 'yes' for shading surface.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Kathryn
