        really is the only way to do it.  A certain amount of prep work
        is required before entering your model.  One other hint is to
        keep track of all your vertices so when you enter the next zone
        the coordinates are EXACT.  Do not trust the snaps.  If they are
        not exact and you are lucky eQuest will not run.  It could just
        as easily crash and all your work needs to be redone.  Always
        keep a backup file.  Don't bother doing any other work on your
        model until your geometry is perfect because eQuest will not run
        until it is.<br>

            <div>The simplest way to ensure that eQUEST defines the

            <div>In the situation you describe where you have an

              would typically split that interior wall into two or three

                      Dear All,<br>
                      <br>
                      I have realized that while creating the model
                      after Wizard entries, eQuest will fail to
                      determine the NEXT-TO property for interior walls
                      that are adjacent to more than one zone and all
                      those interior walls will be defined as ADIABATIC.<br>
                      <br>
                      Also, I see that interior walls are missing from
                      zones where another zone has an ADIABATIC wall in
                      the same place.<br>
                      <br>
                      I see no way of having a model with all interior
                      walls correctly defined without fixing all these
                      problems after the Wizard. Does everybody have the
                      same experience or am I missing something?<br>
