[Equest-users] Shifting one building post simulation

[Nick Caton]

Kushagra, to expand on Rob's advice:

 

I read the situation a little differently and may be mistaken, but if
you have a single model with 13 distinct buildings (shells or groups of
shells) within,  and you need to rotate/move only one of them, then
adjusting the 'Building Data' azimuth will rotate all the buildings at
once (this really toggles which way is North for the project)... 

 

You can find similar inputs (azimuth/xyz) for any given shell in the
same component tree by double-clicking the shell nested below the
'Building Data' line.  If you click the '3-D Geometry' tab first and
strategically move the shell properties window to one side, you can
observe your edits in real time as you make adjustments to be sure
you're getting the desired effect.

 

Best of luck!

To rotate any building in the model, simply click on your component tree
and click on "Building Data".  Here you can change the Azimuth of the
building, which will rotate everything in it by the number of degrees
that you enter.

 

The weather change requires more work.  First you need to have the
weather file you want to use downloaded already.  To check go to My
Documents - eQuest 3.64 Data - Weather - and then look in the next few
folders for the city that you want.  If you cannot find it, a simple way
of getting it is starting a new equest model and in the wizard locate
the city you want.  No need to change anything else in the wizard, run
the model results and let the program find the file for you.  Go back to
the Weater folder and write down the location of the file and its name,
ie mine is for Rochester NY, so TMY2/ROCHESNY.bin

 

Next in your working model, go to the component tree, double click on
the "Project: xxxx" and on the first tab and change the weater file name
to what you wrote down before.  it will come up with a screen that says
something changed. Just select no and be on your merry way!

 

Hope this helps!

Dear All, 

 

There is a project I am working on which has 13 buildings. The eQuest
model was made and results were obtained. However, I now wish to change
the location of one building out of these thirteen within the model
including its orientation; though the design of the building shall
remain the same. Looking forward to know if such a possibility exists?
If yes, how should it be approached?

  

Many Thanks
