Per a friendly off-list reminder, and for completeness, you can right-click anywhere in the 3D view to “reset camera” via the context menu.  This sometimes helps recover when a 3D view has gone out of control and you can’t find the model or have clipping issues.

You can rotate the 3D view by holding down ctrl then left-click+dragging the mouse.
You can zoom the 3D view by holding down ctrl then right-click+dragging the mouse.

To my knowledge, I do not believe there is a “pan” function as of yet, but the above two usually will get you by.

Thanks for the helping me out Vikram. It really helped.

I wanted to ask for the 3-D view of the modeled building, how can we rotate the building and have a look at all sides. My 3-D view just shows one view and there is no option to rotate the building unless I am missing something.

Regards
Fakeha Sehar

Sehar,
Here’s my attempt to answer some of your questions:

1.       You can model this by modifying the reflectance of your roof membrane either through the wizard (below) or through the detailed interface if you know the roof reflectance.

2.       The eQUEST input file is a .inp file. Should be in your project folder. Some of the outputs can be found in a CSV file titled Parms.csv. You can also set up hourly reports for a number of variables that outputs as a csv file too. You just need to click on the hourly report button once you set it up and run it.

3.       Yes
4.       In the wizard I would use the custom window/door placement.

Subject: [Equest-users] Building doors, windows and roof


Hi,

1. How can the following roof be modeled in eQuest 3.64: “a Carlisle Roofing System (0.60” EPDM ballasted rubber membrane).  River rocks are applied at 10 pounds/SF to hold the membrane in place.”

2. The building  modeled in eQuest , is its idf file separately available under any folder? also the outputs, are they available in excel files?

3. for the exterior doors, under selection "doors by option" if west and north options are selected 1 it would mean there is one door on the west and north sides of the building?

4. for the attached building pic how will the exterior windows be described?

Thanks
Sehar
