<p class="MsoNormal">I am modeling an addition to an existing building. I
originally did the shell/zoning using just the original building. I then,
after saving a back up copy of the base building, i went back to the shell and
zone drawing screens in the DD wizard and expanded the shell to account for the
addition, and then went into the zone creation and adjusted my zones. I
was sure to follow the rules about matching verticies, etc.</p>

It appears that the program is still seeing plenums and walls that are now
non-existent. The program says that plenums are being referenced but are
not defined (see error message below).</p>
