VE Tech Tips - Geometry Precision

The first instalment in our new VE Tech Tips series, this video explores using the geometry precision tools within the VE software to increase the speed and accuracy of geometry creation. This VE Tech Tip explains: • How to speed up geometry creation and reduce geometry errors, with more precise modelling in the VE • Using the precision tools: Grid Settings and Locks, and adjusting them while you work, with advice on how to: o Set the grid scale for creating geometry in the VE o Set the grid alignment, either to a .dxf underlay to align different floors of the building, or to rotate consistently for angled areas in a design o Use locks with the grid or independently, noting the purpose of each lock and how to use combinations of different locks, including how to lock to an axis or an angle o How to use drag face and face snapping, to edit completed 3D shapes • How to run a Model Report, to check for geometry errors before starting a simulation 00:00 Introduction 00:47 Grid Settings 02:17 Locks 05:07 Construction Lines 07:44 Angular Locks 08:24 Drag Face Lock 09:20 Model Report #IESVE #EnergyModeling #IESVETutorial
