<font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Omer, you
may have a few walls floating around unassigned. One other hint
is when you are putting in your shell, the exterior walls, is to
add in the intersecting points in the exterior walls where the
interior zones intersect. Looking at Robby's diagram on the
right, assuming that is an exterior wall</font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"></font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">, I put the
wall spanning zones 2 to 4 in as 3 segments not one. The
interior zones also have to line up with the exterior walls.
eQuest basically breaks everything into cubes. Every cube has
to be closed. A side of the cube can have more than one
surface, say on a ceiling where part is exposed to the exterior
and one has a floor above. All the surfaces must line up and
the cube must be closed. They may not overlap either. Any of
these errors to eQuest is like dividing by zero, it has no idea
what to do.<br>

<br>
Thanks a lot. Learned something very important today.<br>
<br>
Another problem that I am having with internal walls: There are
internal walls missing in some zones and I have no clue as to
why. You will see these in the attached images as thin lines.
The walls are missing from the selected zone (grayed), but the
neighboring zone has walls in the same place.<br>
<br>
In 01.jpg, all three internal walls of the smaller zone are
missing.<br>
<br>
In 02.jpg, some internal walls are missing and some are not.<br>
<br>
This floor has been recreated according to your advice with
additional vertices.<br>
<br>
I think there is more to internal walls in Wizard that I do not
know.<br>
<br>

<div>The simplest way to ensure that eQUEST defines the NEXT-TO
property correctly is to make sure that each interior wall
only interfaces with one other interior wall. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<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>

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>
