You may need to be in the DD wizard to do this.  The project I have open 
is beyond the SD. Finish all your basic setup in the SD wizard for the 
first floor and change to DD wizard.  Use a copy and nothing is lost.  I 
will stay for hours or days at the finish button of the Project 
Navigator in the DD wizard doing incremental edits, saving each time.  
Each time you press finish your project is run, confirming equest is 
happy with your changes.  In building shell, using the action tab 
select, building creation wizard, and it will bring up the project 
navigator after a warning about losing everything you entered in 
detailed edit.  Be working with a copy and ignore the warning. Don't add 
anything after this screen and you have nothing to lose.  You can also 
go back and forth as many times as you like.  Select your Bldg Envelope 
and Loads 1, that should be all you have coming from the SD wizard. To 
add the Keith's post, you may need to go to screen 15 first, non-HVAC 
End uses to Model, select exterior lighting, select mode.  This will 
turn on screen 23, go there next, set your W/sq.m and you profile 
details.  Note screen 15 is a gateway to adding many other options and 
turning on other screens.  If you are missing screens you need to go to 
earlier pages and find the check box to open other screens you may wish 
to add information on.
