[Equest-users] Balconies and Extended Flat Roof

[Nick Caton]

Everything you're describing can be reasonably approximated as window
shades.  Finish up in wizards, then in detailed open the properties of
the underlying window(s) and define the geometries of the
overhang/balcony's undersides.  There's a graphics there that
illustrates the variables involved, and you can observe your inputs
changing the modeled shape in the 3D view behind.  You might save time
defining these overhangs first in the wizards for the most common case
per shell, then modifying/deleting the overhangs in detailed edit.

 

Building shades (one per balcony/overhang) would be another approach,
though they'd be harder to define (especially with non-orthoganal
building footprints).

Hello All  -

 

I am trying to model a school building in eQuest which has 3 seperate
shells. The flat roof's of these building are projecting on one side.
One of the building has a balcony wrapping 2 sides of the building.

 

Please let me know how to add these features in DD wizard or detailed
mode.

 

I attached a word file with the building screen shot.

 

Thank you!
