Edit a Volume

You can edit the volumes in a building model by using the modeler functions. The volume can be any building component.

1. Select 3D Modeling > Edit Volume.
2. Select the volume.
3. Make the changes. For example, you can add a sketch and feature based on it. You can open detailed modeling instructions by selecting Help > 3D Modeling Help from the menu bar.
4. Save the model by selecting File > Save.
5. Return to the building model by selecting OK from the context-sensitive menu.

Note

• If you change the active drawing-model pair or the active drawing-model pair working window during modeling, the application will exit the model editing mode and prompt you with the following question: "Changing drawing-model pair's active window requires model's edit state to exit! Do you want to save changes before you exit?" Save the model by selecting Yes in the message box.
