<font size="+1">There is a good pos<font size="+1">sibility you have
made an <font size="+1">error on the <font size="+1">CAD
input. In order to find it you are probably going to lose
your detailed window input. Start by making a copy of where
you are now and go back into the wizard. Work with your
copies keeping your current file safe.<br>
<font size="+1">For your infor<font size="+1">mation I ne<font
size="+1">ver do a detailed windo<font size="+1">w/door
p<font size="+1">lacement until I'm sure <font
size="+1">everything else is wor<font size="+1">king
correctly in the DD wizard. I just put the
windows in as a percentage of the wall area
and finish the wizard. I also keep lots of
copies, lol, you never know when something
crops up. As you will find with your copy
going back into it will probably delete your
detailed window<font size="+1"> input. Hence
the reason I never do it until I'm sure
everything else is correct. Basically a 30
second place holder to keep the wizard
happy. Doing this allows me to go back into
the wiz<font size="+1">ard and keep making
adjustments and finding errors until I'm
satisfied<font size="+1"> it is <font
size="+1">running smoothly. If you
have nothing to lose you can do this
for days.<br>
The DD wizard is a great, easy
interfac<font size="+1">e to use. You
may be able to solve your problem in
the detailed edit area but it is
several magnitudes more difficult if
you are a new user<font size="+1">
or even an experienced one. The
most successful are used to DOE
1&2 before the eQuest
interface. This<font size="+1">
still may<font size="+1"> be
able to be done but you have
to find the problem first.</font></font></font></font><br>

<p class=""><span style="font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">I am
very new to eQuest and
am working on completing my very first model. I imported a
.dwg file to set up the building footprint and zones and
have begun on exterior elevations. I have been inputting my
exterior glazing using the "Custom Window/Door Placement..."
option in the DD Wizard. I have all the windows input
correctly, but when I back out and go to the 3-D view of the
building, some of the windows are on the wrong walls, and
some I am not seeing at all (unless they are 'doubling up'
on one of the other walls). I am not sure if I have made an
error in the earlier stages of constructing the model thus
far, or if this is some type of glitch. Does this sound
familiar to anyone? Any advice?</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">I have
seen that I can go in and change the parent wall for the
misplaced windows in the detailed edit mode, but would just
like to figure this out for future models going forward.</span></p>
