I downloaded your pd2 file and got the same wizard error – no ShellWiz, and something about the BDL file not being able to write space parameters. Since your issue is isolated to when you copy the 3<sup>rd</sup> floor I looked there and noticed that your zone
groups assignments are all set to 0%, so despite defining zones in window 13 defining zones, window 14 was preventing the zone assignments. Once you assign your zones to the groups the issues should be resolved. I included a picture of the fourth floor with
a roof at the bottom to show the wizard compiles the geometry without errors if done correctly.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps; best of luck.<br>
