[Equest-users] Floor Multiplier in Detailed Edit Mode

[Keith Swartz via Equest-users]

Another trick to get intermediate floors to show up in the graphic is to make one of the zones an “atrium.” Be careful with the zone selection for this if you need the floor area, but an elevator or chase could be a good choice. Doing this truly creates separate floors in the model, which might be a problem with run time and file size, but maybe not.

If there is no useful zone for this, then I suggest doing a “save as…” and using this “atrium” file just for the pretty picture.

In the DD wizard, Screen 2 for the shell, click on the “Zone Names and Characteristics” button.

Click on the desired zone, then check the box in the upper right for “Multi-Level Space (atrium).

The intermediate floors show on the 3-D image!

This is the easiest solution if the end-goal is “I need a pretty picture” and you haven’t made substantial/visible geometry edits post-wizards.

Otherwise, I’ve used photoshop/paint to manipulate the image where it really matters to someone.

Hi:

I believe if you make another copy and call it "Full Building" or something, then uncheck the Floor multipliers checkbox Screen 1), all floors will appear.

Hi,

I am working on a multi-story identical floor plans building. I am using floor multiplier in wizard mode for simplicity of the model and to keep shorter simulation time. In the model, equest is showing the bottom floor and top floor for the identical floors. However, I was wondering if I can have all the floors visible at the later stage of the project in detailed edit mode?

Thanks,

Sunayana
