<div>Thank you for your email Vikram. </div><div> </div><div>Sorry, But I forgot to mention something that, these are two different shell components with different building types. The moment I build them seperately eQuest does not consider the main ridge running continuously and I have a break in between. </div>
<div>But if this is the only option then I will go ahead and make it one shell and edit the zone type and schedules manually. </div><div> </div><div>Thank you for your help.</div><div>Amruta<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">
