zone walls are even the slightest bit off from what you defined as the building 
footprint, they will not be recognized as exterior walls. You could go through 
the wizard to correct this, create a new exterior wall in the detailed design 
mode and delete the interior wall, or go to the .inp file to change the wall 
type. You can't easily change a wall type from interior to exterior within 
eQUEST.</font></span></div>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Hello all again.</font> </p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">I've imported a CAD drawing, using schematic design 
mode I drew the custom foot print and then the custom individual zones. I have a 
couple of exterior walls that show up as interior walls, even after a lot of 
tweaking. Any suggestions for converting these interior walls to exterior walls 
(simply)?</font></p>
