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

[Otto Schwieterman]

Another option may be to perform a save-as, go back into the wizard, and
make the changes. Once the changes are made, you can copy and paste the
changes into the original inp file. Remember that you will have to copy
the same information for the systems and zones. 

 

***Make sure you create backup files when editing the inp. files!!***

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,

For interior floors I can see that there is a space polygon with name
E16 Space Polygon - SMirro and from the name I feel its a mirror for
space polygons...Can anyone explain why is it creating a different space
polygon for interior floors ??Is it necessary to create these space
polygons along with other space polygons for interior floors....

 

Please guide me with step by step procedure to edit zones in detail
