<div class=yiv5178907122MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Thank you for the advice. I was able to fix that issue. However, now another issue has come up. I’ve created two shells in the wizard – one for the first floor and one for the second floor. I have defined the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> florr to be “immediately above” the 1<SUP>st</SUP> floor. However, when I move to the detailed mode, the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> floor appears to be on the same plane as the 1<SUP>st</SUP> floor. It appears like it does not recognize that there is a second floor and the zoning is distorted. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to get the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> floor shell to move. Any advice?</SPAN></div>

<div class=yiv5178907122MsoNormal>So I have a new project in which I have completed drawing the first floor outline and zones. See below image showing the completed floor plan.</div>

<div class=yiv5178907122MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=yiv5178907122MsoNormal>However, when I go to the detailed mode, many of these zones are not defined. It looks like they just do not exist. See below image.</div>
