Only way to model two different floor plans is to have two separate shells. <div><br></div><div>For your other problem, if you trace the outside of the building, and then when creating your zones leave the interior courtyard empty then the wizard will not create any space/zones there. Once in the design mode, delete your interior walls around the courtyard and create your exterior walls in their places. This is the easiest method that I have been able to come up with thus far in my experiences.</div>

<div>I am tryinig to model a 2 story building has a below grade storage floor and an above grade office area. The office area is doughnut shaped with an internal courtyard. My questions are:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. How would I model the internal courtyard? I have created an AutoCAD drawing as a background image to trace. However, because eQuest requires you to set the vertice points counter-clockwise, I am unable to enclose the courtyard without missing a portion of the outer office space. See attached image for what I mean. Any advice?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. For the below grade portion of the building, is there anyway to model this floor without creating an entirely new "shell" within the wizard. Since the below grade footprint is different from the upper story footprint, I am not sure how to model the upper and lower stories differently without creating an entirely separate "shell."</div>

<div>Any help would be great. Thanks.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Patrick J Keeney<br>MArch-MSSD Candidate<br><a href="tel:410-299-5627" value="+14102995627" target="_blank">410-299-5627</a><br></div>
