Hello everyone I am a student from IUAV in Venice, I'm modeling a design builder project and I need to create a building with a separate structure inside in order to understand how the temperature changes if I heat one and not the other. The building must be divided in two different zones!!!
Ifr anyone knows how to do it I would be really greatful

Thanks a lot Jacopo

Jacopo,

I’m not sure to understand your question. If you are trying to model something like a box inside another one (with different height each one) you could try this approach:

1. Draw two blocks, one on top of the other.
2. Draw an isolated zone inside the lower block.
3. Draw the appropriate holes in the upper block floor, in order to connect both stories.
4. Active Merge zones connected by holes (Model options > Advanced), in order to get just two zones.

If I’m misunderstanding your question please upload a schematic drawing explaining your building.

Regards,

Arturo
