[Equest-users] Equest and high rise floors

[Mark Stout]

Using DD Wizard I modeled each floor as a separate zone and that helped.
 The model correctly renders the footprint of each floor of the building,
but still treats exterior walls as interior walls and I can't change them.
I can't do it in the wizard or in the spreadsheet.
