[Equest-users] Zoning in Detail Wizard...

[Karen Walkerman]

John,

Editing zones in detail mode is not as bad as it may initially seem.

The easiest way to do it is to go to 2D view, and then switch to polygon
view so that you can see the polygons of all your zones on the screen at
once.

Then, select the zone you want to edit in the tree to the left.

Select edit in the pop-up toolbar

now you can move vertexes and add vertexes just like you did when you
created the zones, BUT a few things to be cautious of:

1.  If you move vertex 1, when you go back to regular 2D mode or 3D mode,
you'll notice that your zone has moved.  If at all possible, leave vertex 1
in the same place.
2.  If you subtract vertexes, walls that refer to higher vertexes will lose
a reference, and you will get an error.  Be careful when subtracting
vertexes.
3.  When you add vertexes, you'll notice that your walls refer to vertexes
by number and may shift positions.

When you edit polygons this way, the Smirror polygon is also automatically
changed.

That said, when I started using eQuest, if I had major zone changes to make,
I usually went back to the wizard mode, and re-entered all post-wizard
stuff.

Hope this helps,
