[Equest-users] Equest and high rise floors

 Mark:
Sounds like you used the SD Wizard. Save and Copy to a DD Wizard format (name it different). Then go to 3rd-6th floors and redraw the footprint to match those floors. Make sure your spaces match your footprints.
That should take care of BOTH the walls that aren't there and the interior walls to exterior walls.

 Hello,
I'm modeling a 6 story building from plans.  All floors are equal from the rear.  The first two floors come out 165' and have the same footprint.  But floors 3-6 come out 115'. The 6th floor has a 25'x30' uncovered patio.  I used the custom zoning pattern to create the layout of the footprint for each floor.  When I look at the 3D model, I see the outlines of the different footprints for floors 3-6 correctly.  But what should be an exterior wall is showing as an interior adiabatic wall.   
   - How do I get the program to treat these interior walls as an exterior wall? 
   - How do I get rid of the walls that followed floors 1 and 2 but are non-existing for floors 3-6?
