[Equest-users] Interior Walls show up as Exterior Walls

I recommend leaving "Plan North" on DD wizard screen 2 as North - then
setting the azimuth as required in detailed edit mode.  With Plan North as
North, I find eQUEST does a good job of creating appropriate exterior and
interior walls for adjacent shells.  However when the building is rotated in
the wizard, what you describe (all exterior walls) has happened to me as
well.

 

I hope this resolves your issue.

Hi everyone,

 

I am working on an energy model for an office building (see attached pd2 and
inp files), in eQuest v3.65. 

 

My problem is that when I create the shells and zones, all of the walls
touching adjacent shells/zones show up as exterior walls instead of interior
walls.

 

This is a particular problem on all of the "1F" shells in the model, which
should have interior walls when the shells connect. I am using the default
zones right now while the architect works on updating the room layout. I
don't know if it is just a setting I have unchecked but in the past this has
only been an isolated problem (i.e. couple of walls for the whole job)
rather than the entire project. I am still in the Wizard Data Edit mode
phase of the model, and even though I can fix this manually in Detailed Edit
Mode (by creating interior walls in the same location) I'd like to fix it in
the wizard.which will definitely save me time in the long run. 

 

Has anyone had this problem before?

 

Thanks,

Dan
