DesignBuilder make this easy as you just draw the ground next to the building
using the ground obstructions component type (from memory) and it then assigns
the correct adjacency conditions to your model. To do different wall
panels you just use sub-panels.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

conditions within the model. Seeing they now have their google sketchup
link that might make it quite easy to do too. Same sort of thing in
