[Equest-users] Zones with different roof height on same floor

[Jing Hong]

Hi Tejas,

Sorry I don't have the output report with errors with me now. I asked the
same question as you a couple of months ago. Friendly eQuest users
suggested me several options. After trying, for my case, creating in one
shell and modifying heights in detail mode turns out to be the simplest and
best solution.
