In the first screen of the shell wizard the "Floor Multiplier" check
box is selected. This will create a top floor, a bottom floor and a
middle floor with a multiplier for the number of storeys of the shell
less 2 (for the top & bottom). This speeds calculations
(especially for many-storey structures) and looks silly. If you clear
the check box, all floors will be created (which looks better and
simulates slower).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I have recently tried to
create a model of a arbitrary
building for a presentation using the SD wizard to produce a 4 story
office
building. However, the rendering shows only the top floor, the first
floor and
only 1 middle floor. The top floor is suspended above the first floor
presumably by the floor to floor height value I entered. Does anyone
have any
ideas to why this happens. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
