[Equest-users] renaming space area types

[M. Shields]

To my knowledge it is not possible to rename the space type within the
wizard.  It can be done in detailed edit mode if you go to the properties
for the space under the building shell tab.

 

Hope that helps,

Michael Shields

Subject: [Equest-users] renaming space area types

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to rename space area types in the
"Activity Areas Allocation" page?

 

Whenever I'm entering stairs and elevator shafts, I end up having to assign
them to "unknown" and "all others" since those are the two non-descript
activity areas available.  It's not a big deal to remember that "unknown" is
stairs and "all others" is shafts, but it would make it more readable if we
could rename space types.

 

I tried modifying the "unknown" space activity allocation in the .pd2 file,
but all that did was force the wizard to use the original space type listed
for that line (conference).

 

Seems like it's probably a programming item within eQuest, but just wanted
to see if anyone else had luck doing this.

 

I'd be willing to work with a DLL decompiler if the information on the
activity areas is within one of them.just don't know where to start.

 

Thanks!
