Hi,

In one of my recent project we had two building with one common wall separating both and both had different level i.e. split level. I modelled it as per the attached file. I am facing following problem.

When I am trying to run it says that check the warning in run folder but ETABS is not creating any WRN file anywhere.
Is there any better way of modelling the split levels.
Because of defining more storeys the wind load in Y direction is lost by almost 50% so I have to provide the User Defined Wind Load for Y-direction.
I had another model for gravity but here in the design ETABS is not able to distinguish between the true storey height.

Can you please provide me with some solution to above problems.

Regards,
