click on the “Grid” icon that is in the toolbar available in the

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>However, modifying zones is still very
tricky. The reference vertex will move if you add or delete vertexes. One also
has to be careful of what is referencing the polygon one is trying to change. If
you are deleting vertexes, all the walls/windows that reference that vertex have
to be deleted first. Finally if you delete or create an entirely new zone, the
corresponding thermal zone needs to be created/deleted or else the model won’t
run. The above are the things that I can think of that someone has to be
mindful of. There are probably others that I rediscover every time I try to do
this again. Depending on the complexity of the change, it can be quite a
painful experience. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
