<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=984012922-07012009>I'm new to eQuest,
testing it out to see if we like it for some modeling tasks over our current
software (Trnsys). I'm trying to model a building in which every floor has a
different shape. Can someone tell me the best way to approach this? Should each
floor be a new shell? For that matter, what is a 'shell', anyways?
