    Marcello,<br>
    1.  It is not possible to have more than one instance of Type56 in
    your project. However, if you define two zones in Type56 that have
    no ADJACENT walls between then then in effect you have modeled two
    buildings. This can be extended so that if you have two groups of
    zones that have internal ADJACENT walls but no walls shared between
    the two groups, you have in effect modeled two multizone buildings.<br>
    <br>
    2. Macro information is not saved at the *.dck level, only in the
    Studio rendition of the project (the *.tpf). Connection line path
    information and line properties (color, style, etc.) are also not
    saved in the *.dck. These are both features that the developers have
    considered adding but at the moment, I am not aware of any concrete
    plans to do so.<br>
    <br>
    Kind regards,<br>

            already reached!”. I would like to know if there is a way to
            change the maximum number of instances of type 56 or not,
            and in the latter case which is the reason. (Element of
            context: Having more than one type 56 in a project would be
            very useful for us  when dealing with complex buildings with
            many different zones without adjacencies. In this case, the
            input and output list of type 56 can become very long and
