[Equest-users] Floor Alignment Problem<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=014363316-23112009><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Hello,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=014363316-23112009><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=014363316-23112009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm modeling a
two-story building with basement and penthouse and am having a slight problem
(maybe??). First I modeled the shells (one per floor) and checked
"immediately above" each other without specifying coordinates. The floor
alignment was not correct (all floors were centered with respect to each
other) even though I used the background of the floor below as a
reference. To try to fix this I left the basement as it was without
specific coordinates and plugged in coordinates for the 1st Fl, 2nd Fl, and
penthouse. Now the 1st Fl, 2nd Fl, and penthouse are aligned correctly
with respect to each other, but the basement is not aligned in the 3d view (see
below). The basement appears to be aligned with the 1st floor in the
custom building footprint (see below), so there seems to be a conflict.

<DIV><SPAN class=014363316-23112009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can someone help me
align these, and get rid of the floor heat transfer between the basement
and the 1st floor?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=014363316-23112009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also since I created
multiple shells for each floor, do I need to go into detailed edit mode and
delete the underground floor components of the upper
levels? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
