Large model modelling

Hello,

I have some doubts about modelling large models for an initial analysis (such a multistorey building of more than 2 storeys with more than 10 units for floor). There is some indications about some simplification? Floor and ceiling can be considered adiabatic (except the floor for the ground floor and the roof in the top floor?). Is it correct to model only some units (which one? In the corner? Where?)? Is it acceptable to consider adiabatic the wall between the units? The common corridor how can be simplified?

Thanks,

FD

I have another question: if i need to model a ground to sky shaft, I need to model as a zone or can i leave a hole in the model?
