IES-VE User Forum

Hi I urgently need help regarding IESVE software.

1.) Are there a way to change roof and wall materials to rooflight? I kept trying to replace it with rooflight construction but it just does not work.
2.) how to draw an angled plane in IESVE?
3.) Conversion from Revit model to IESVE have a lot of issues.

Currently I need to model it to do certain SHG analysis please kindly help. Thank you.

Hi,

1. you need to draw a window on the roof to add a rooflight, article linked below on this.

2. switch to front view and you can draw using the draw extruded shape along an angle or draw a block then use partition or divide space tools to cut along an angle

3. Yes it does rely on careful management of the Revit model prior to exporting the gbXML in order to get it right. some best practise tips are given here
