I agree with Grammy. Now that I see what you are looking at what I would do, and have done in the past is figure out the average height of the space and use that. The volume would be the same and that's all eQUEST cares about. <br>

you mean by the level and volume changing and why would it change?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear
all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What
is the best method for modeling a theater? You know that the level and
the volume will change. Can we do that in eQUEST ? or we should assume the
elevation is constant? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I
think that if we calculate the actual zone volume , and then adjust the
elevation in eQUEST to get the same volume (so the elevation in eQUEST will
represent a virtual elevation). Is that a good approach? </p>
