<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I ended up making each floor to be the SF that it is, and then stacked the shells. In your case, it will look like a pyramid that has steps to get to the top. Shading will have to be used to get the solar gain correct for me, for you, it will be an issue. I do not think you can tilt the exterior walls.</DIV>
