<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If the corresponding shell in
the wizards was ever set up adjacent to another, the shared planes may have
defaulted to “partially adiabatic,” which would make part of your
model look like it has “interior walls” that are in fact adiabatic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Rest assured, the zones behind
those white rectangles are not behaving the way it looks: as though they have
your internal wall construction on the exterior. If you were to delete
them, the 3D view would look funny, but it would be the same as having an
adiabatic wall in the same locations (no heat transfer to/from the outside) –
that could be a fast solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The “correct”
solution, to model the interaction with the exterior world in those spaces, is
to follow Katie’s (well-written!) instructions below. Don’t
let her caps lock usage scare ya though – this stuff isn’t too excruciating,
as long as you do keep your backups in order =). It may go without
saying, but I’ll add that you will potentially save yourself a lot of
time by spending a few minutes in your model noting the exact name of those “interior”
looking walls so that you can ctrl+F them in the .inp file!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Use the .inp file to modify those – that’s the
best way I know how. The file is located with your project – open
it with notepad. (See below). You’ll have to go find each
wall and change them to = EXTERIOR-WALL and then add the same fields
(construction/height/location/shading-surface). MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE THE
TWO PERIODS AT THE END OF EACH WALL, OTHERWISE YOU’LL MESS UP YOUR
FILE. I WOULD DO A SAVEAS ON THIS FILE BEFORE YOU MODIFY IT IN CASE YOU
MESS SOMETHING UP!!! Save that .inp file and then open your .PD2 file
again. Then you can update the construction types. Hope this helps!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Good Afternoon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have two (2) of the approximately 50 exterior walls that
somehow along the way were modeled as interior walls. The model is very
close to completion and has a many edits in detailed interface. <b>Is
there any way to convert these walls into exterior walls? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have never added any spaces or changed any zone layouts
outside of the wizards. I am assuming that is what I will end up doing,
but I was just checking to see if there was a quick fix that I couldn’t
find.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyone have any clue how this could have happened?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I included a screen shot of my 3D model with the specific
walls highlighted.<o:p></o:p></p>
