color=#0000ff size=2>Probably the easiest way is to break it up into multiple
shells, unless somebody has found success doing it another way. Create one shell
for your slab-on-grade, and one shell on top of your ambient spaces. You can
create one shell on top of another by changing the "Z" coordinate in the
Wizard.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>How do I model a shell floor where part is over a basement
level that is office space, part is slab on grade (the first floor is twice as
large as the second floor), and part of the floor is over ambient
airspace.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Also, my basement is not fully below grade. Two of my
walls are fully above grade, the other two are below grade? How do I make
that distinction in eQuest?<o:p></o:p></P>
