<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=575365219-15042010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>You can go to the "Building Shell" tab, right click on the
screen, select "switch to polygon view" and edit any new polygons you have made
in there. However, this rarely works out for me because if you model is
too complicated it hangs and then crashes a lot. I would suggest drawing
the polygons you want to edit in autoCAD, finding the points you want to make,
and then putting them into the .inp file.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I am trying to create a custom polygon in eQUEST in the detailed mode, but
the interface only allows me to set three vertices.</DIV>
<DIV>How can I get the program to allow me to input more vertices?</DIV>
