from the wizard.  If it is really important to you, you could modify the

frustrating).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the DD edit mode I would make new interior walls everywhere there is an
exterior wall (make note of the wall location, such as “V6 of Space
Polygon”) then delete the exterior walls.  If there are no walls –
just air – where you have the new interior walls, you can change the Surface
Type to “Air”.  You may have to change the Construction, such
as to “Default Air Wall Construction” which is available in the

having pitched roofs.  As illustrated in the screenshot below, eQUEST has
placed the pink gable ends on the right and left sides (of the screenshot),
when in actuality they are on the top and bottom (of the screenshot). 
Does anyone know how to change the orientation of pitched roofs?  Also, I
have placed shells side-by-side, but I need them to be connected without walls
in between—is there an easy way to connect side-by-side shells?
