<font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">This
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>In the situation you describe where you have an
interior wall that is adjacent to more than one zone, I
would typically split that interior wall into two or three
walls by adding vertices at each of the intersections
between the zones and the interior wall that spans them.</div>

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>
