<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I've
got a fairly complex building model on which I've been working for a few weeks
now. I've got it pretty well tuned at this point, but unfortunately for me, the
architect has gone ahead and made some fairly aggressive floorplan changes.
I've tried making some of the changes in the detail edit mode but it's not
going as well as I would like. I'm running into issues where I can't modify
zone polygons because the vertices of interest are associated with several interior
walls, etc. Overall, it's turning out to be quite a messy ordeal. So my
question is this: Is there a preferred method to make floorplan adjustments
after the fact, or am I better off starting a new model from scratch? Thanks
for any help, advice, comments.... <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
