option on the floor properties dialog of the floor you'd like to
duplicate. Then add the floor height of the duplicated floor to the
absolute Z elevations of all floors above. Note that the Z elevation is
also found on the floor properties dialog, of the respective floors that need to
be jacked up. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>There's only one minor issue... the duplicated floor won't
be depicted graphically. In 3-D geometry view, the building will look like
there's a missing floor. But in all of the energy reports etc. you should
find that the duplicated floor is accounted for.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

another can of worms. Let me know if this is the case and I can give you
some guidance... but it's not somewhere you want to go if you don't have
to.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

already within the detail interface. Is there a way that I could go back into
the wizard and create another floor without creating problems?<BR><BR>Thanks for
any advise that can be provided!<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Alexandra
