<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have made a building model composed of two shells that are touching each other at a side, similar to a lock and key. One shell is a two story office space. The other shell is a single-floor manufacturing space with a floor-to-ceiling height equal to the height of the office shell.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Will eQuest treat these 2 shells as if they are 2 separate buildings or as if they are one big building? The project calls for the entire assembly to be modeled as a single building so this is important.</DIV></DIV></DIV></div></body></html>
