Jessica,<br><br>With the caveat that I am neither a Revit or GBS user, I suspect that the problem may be related to how you brought your files into eQUEST. In the DD wizard on Screen 2 of 25 you will notice that the footprint shape defaults to "rectangle". To get the shape you want you would have to select "custom". <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I went to the 3-D view and did as you
suggested. I made it so only the spaces were visible. Should the
spaces all be shown on one plane (refer to the Zones Image). The zone
highlighted in red is the zone I am referencing that has the exterior walls
showing up properly, but the zone does not show up correct – it is just a
generic rectangle (as highlighted in red).</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">The Zones2 image has the zones on that one
plane and the 3D image of the building.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I have used a Revit model and created spaces, making each
