<p class="MsoNormal">I want to start modeling a school project comprising of 2 buildings interconnected by:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]><span dir="LTR"></span>a library space at the Ground & First Floor levels<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have attached a 3D rendering of the project and highlighted the 2 buildings (building 1 & building 2 in
<b>red</b> and <b>green</b>) and the library separating them (in <b>blue</b> color). The underground basement is not shown in this image but will span the whole footprint below the 2 buildings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to start by modeling these buildings via the wizard. I guess I will need to create separate shells and position them properly, right?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this is the case, is the best scenario to model 3 shells as follows?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for the basement, is it better to model it as 1 big shell and place the 3 shells (listed above) just over the basement shell? Or it is better to divide the basement into 3 sections and merge each section with the above-ground shell (listed
above)?<o:p></o:p></p>
