exposed roof in each floor with eQUEST<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hello, all,<BR><BR>I have a question regarding modeling roof in
eQUEST. In the high-rise building that I am going to model, each floor will have
partly exposed floor (the bottom floor has the largest footprint and gradually
reduced foot print in the upper floors) and shape is complicated. <BR><BR>Does
someone has some experience to model the roof? Since each floor has partly
exposed roof, when I model the roof as adiabatic, then the exposed roof will be
missing. If I model the whole floor with roof, then lots of roof will be
redundant. If I delete these redundant roof, then some zones will be exposed to
the exterior without roof while there should be some roof area.<BR><BR>I found
it is difficult to create roof shape with plolygon in eQUEST. Is the separation
of the parts with and without roof into different shells the best way to model
this condition or is there any better methods?<BR><BR>Thanks a lot for your
help.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>David<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
