<DIV><SPAN class=271470320-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is what you
need to do when adding a partial roof to a space:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN class=271470320-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Create a copy of
the polygon of the space you want a roof over. You can find out what polygon
it is by finding the space and clicking "properties." The polygon should be
listed there.</FONT></SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN class=271470320-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Create a
new exterior wall for that space by right clicking on the space and
selecting "create exterior wall." In the details for that wall, make the
location "Top" and attach it to that polygon you just
created.</FONT></SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN class=271470320-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Find the polygon in
the edit tree on the left and double click on it. You will see the vertices of
the polygon. Now you can erase some of the points or add some if needed. By
hitting "Tab" after entering each point, it will update the polygon and you
can see what your roof shape looks like.</FONT></SPAN></LI></UL>
<DIV><SPAN class=271470320-06082007><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a tedious
task, but it is the only way you can make a partial
roof.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

roof<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV>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? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I changed the properties tab to exactly match the 2nd story roof
including answering 'yes' for shading surface. </DIV>
<DIV>Any insight would be greatly
appreciated!<BR>Thanks!<BR>Kathryn</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><PRE>
