Jessica-<br><br>You can edit the .input file to change a wall from exterior to interior and vise-versa<br><br>1) You would need to change the tag from "EXTERIOR-WALL" to "INTERIOR-WALL" <br>2) Change the construction. <br>
3) Take out the shading surface tag if you have that specified for the exterior wall. <br>4) You will also need to add a tag like {NEXT-TO = "Space that Its next to"}<br><br>Its tedious but if its only a few walls it shouldn't be that bad.<br>
<br>"Name of Wall" = INTERIOR-WALL <br> NEXT-TO = "Space its next to"<br> CONSTRUCTION = "IWall Construction"<br> LOCATION = SPACE-V2<br> ..<br><br>"Name of Wall" = EXTERIOR-WALL <br>
CONSTRUCTION = "EWall Const"<br> LOCATION = SPACE-V5<br> SHADING-SURFACE = YES<br> ..<br><br>-- <br>Steve Mignogna<br>Atelier Ten<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 30, 2008 1:28 PM, Jonathan Curtin <<a href="mailto:jcurtin@wylieassociates.com">jcurtin@wylieassociates.com</a>> wrote:<br>

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>
