Hi,

To get a no heat transfer adjacency in the VE then you would model the adjacent room as an adjacent building type or on an inactive layer.

This would set the space to be inactive in simulation and also the adjacency where it meets any active thermal spaces is treated as no heat transfer as ...

Hi,

ModelIT has a tool to draw a hemisphere that would be a strong start to the shape you want. Otherwise I always found the VE plug-in for Sketchup does a good job with geometry like that and it will come through with the segmented surfaces as drawn in SketchUp so gives you some better control ...
