[Equest-users] How to Show Complete Building in eQUEST

[Nicholas CATON]

Yep.  Floor multipliers are a borderline essential tool to leverage for very large facilities and campus models covering multiple near-identical buildings/floors/systems.  You can observe substantial gains on simulation/load time, which can on occasion save you many hours of net development time (i.e. late hours when you should be resting up for your next analysis!!).

That said, I typically advise newer energy model practitioners to experiment with but not rely heavily on floor multipliers with their first (simpler) projects, as using floor/shell multipliers entails a number of minor quirks with regard to defining systems and interpreting certain model output reports.

In the DD wizards, you are looking to tick/untick this box in the first screen of your shell(s):

Hi Ahmad,

For all floors to show you need to model all of them. In other words, don’t use floor multipliers.

Hello All,

I am modeling a sixteen floor building and eQUEST does not show the identical repeated floors as per the snapshot below maybe to reduce the time of rendering and the simulation. However, is there a way we can let eQUEST show the full building with all the floors and does not hide any floor?
