These include geometry information only (walls, glazing, roof, floors, etc) and can make help you set up the geometry in eQuest if you define the spaces correctly. Setting up the spaces takes time and some items do not transfer well depending on the complexity of the Revit model. Shading devices can also make the jump if there is not to many of them for eQuest.
