Modeling the shells of multiple shell planetary nebulae using different model spectra for hot central stars, we found that a blackbody model leads to wrong nebular parameters. We model the density profile of the outer shells, varying the results of hydrodynamical simulations. This leads to a spatial excitation profile which reproduces well the observations.
