IES-VE User Forum

Hello VE Support,
I have a model that was designed in ModelIT. Now I want to change the vertex locations of some vertices (vertexes) of the walls. How can I re-position the vertices finely / accurately? I can currently accurately change the height of the model using the command > edit > selection set > element heights. I can change the length using the command > edit > selection set > drag face but this does not allow me the ability to accurately / finely position the vertices.

Also does IES - VE have a geometry file with the respective geometry that I can edit the vertices? Does anyone have any ideas?

Regards,

Hi,
You can change the vertex position using 'Edit Space' form.
Follow the following steps to change the vertex position.
1) Select a room.
2) Click 'Move down one level' button from the toolbar.
3) Change display mode to 'Edit' in drop-down.
4) Switch to 'Edit Vertices' tab.
5) Select a vertex to be edited & insert the new position in 'Vertex shift' textBoxes & click 'Move vertex' button.

I had tried to search the geometry file but unfortunately did not find. I guess the 'Edit space' is the best method to edit vertices.

These are the advanced features of ModelIT. There are some other advanced features of ModelIT which will be tought to you in 'IES training' program.
If you are unaware of those , I would suggest you to go for this training program.

Thanks vajindarladdad for the response.

Even with your help it is not "intuitive" finding the "Edit" drop-down! There is the formal "Edit" drop-down which does not contain this feature ... and then a little "drop-down" (surface-edit-component) beside the View Rotate command that contains the feature. Wheeww!

I am currently using the VE Student Version so I don't know if all the advanced functions are included in this package. I will assume "yes" at this point as I have the "Edit" drop down.

Thanks for the Link to training calendar. All I really need is a good tutorial (that leads one through the design of a building) and I will be fine. Youtube has some interesting tutorials. Do you know of any written tutorials that are available to the public??? (something other than the VE user guides).

regards,

Hi,
You can access the tutorials from your <VE> application.
Procedure to access these tutorials.
1) Select 'User guide' option from the 'Help' menu.

Here is a link to the tutorial files.
