Understanding Floors. In my opinion if you are editing polygons it is
because you have not used the DD wizard properly and you have got too
far into you</font>r model to go back. It is explaining how you should
have began your model construction. The DD wizard will allow you to
construct as many shells as you like to make a floor. eQuest uses a
bit of hocus-pocus to do underground layers as many of the modelling
softwares do. Even if you get your polygons right eQuest is probably
not going to analyze them correctly.<br>

<pre wrap="">When you right-click on the Polygon in question, it gives you the option to "Create another Polygon ...". On the "Create Polygon" dialog box that pops up, you choose "Copy an existing component" as your "Creation Option" and the component to copy will be automatically chosen as the original polygon. From there, you modify it to your convenience.

Thanks for your reply. I can't find a way to "copy" a polygon? I am
in Detailed Edit Mode.

<pre wrap="">Chris,
When you input "Bottom" as the location, eQuest uses the default
polygon corresponding to the space floor.
Copy this one, and customize it. Then input it as the new polygon for the UG.

Subject: [Equest-users] Undergound floor
Is there a way to insert an underground floor that is not the size of
the entire floor of the space. I would like to insert a ug floor
that is a 3' strip along the perimeter of the space. When I insert
Child Component, Underground Floor, equest makes it the size/shape of
the entire space. The UG floor dialog allows me to change the area
but then I get a Bad Building Component error.
