Hi,
I am trying convert our 2D background information into a 3D SUE model and then as I receive the daylighting results adjust my model.
I am able to use the extract utilities from graphics tool to generate the original model. From what I have seen in tutorials I should be able to select the conduit or node that I have created and either use the manipulator tools to adjust its location or the manipulators shown at the ends in the view. For some reason I do not have any manipulators in the view and none of my manipulator tools (move, copy, rotate, etc.) have any effect on the element. The only way I can edit it is through the limited options in the element information.
At first I assumed that this must have been a result of the extract from graphic function but I have the same problem even if I place two standard nodes randomly and place a conduit between them. I also thought it might be the result of the feature definitions I created, using the generic feature definition also seems to have no effect.
Please let me know if there is a setting or something that needs to be adjusted to allow for this manipulation and let me know if you have any thoughts on an easier way to do this process.
Thank you
Hi Lindsey: The ways that a feature can be manipulated will vary depending on how the feature is created. For example, when you say you create two nodes and a conduit between them, the rules used to define the conduit are best described as "conduit between two nodes". Thus you can redefine the conduit by changing the end nodes, or you can insert bends (from the context toolbox). For extracted graphics the rule conduit is defined by its source graphic. For the profiles, these also can vary depending on how it was originally modeled. If you can provide a sample of what you have and the needed manipulation then I can better describe how to accomplish the desired result.
