<div>Hello Claire </div>

</div>
<div>You may also rethink why you have so many zones. Unless there are different conditions in each zone and/or different thermostat settings, and you are not simulating particular zone/system combinations there is no need for so many zones in the early design
stage. </div>

<div>Your description of the 3D rendering and the duplicate vertices makes me think that your top shell coordinates are incorrectly defined.
<div>Within the DD Wizard you can "Specify Exact Site Coordinates" and set the top shell's Z value to be equal to the height of the bottom shell. Also remember to only place the roof on the top shell -- this may address the "DbgPitchedRoof error" you mention.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Depending on your experience with eQuest these may be overly simplistic suggestions but it's my best guess from your description.</div>
