How to edit a vertex?
Is there a way to edit or at least view the XYZ values for any of the following:
A rectangle, rectangular region, or point array?
I would like to add lights to a runway and I remember being able to get it's exact vert XYZs but I can't seem to do that now.

The best way for rectangles/rectregions is to just zoom all the way in on the corners and put down a point. Point arrays you're kind of screwed for precise replication (because the input vertices aren't there to reference off of after the fact)
The last thing you can do, if you need exactly the same points, is export the element (File > Export > Current item) and pull the coordinates from the output file

Re: How to edit a vertex?
I tried exporting the item. The rectangle for the runway was easy to find. It's the only grey item.
It's verts are at +/-15 x +/-600. So, lined up with the grid and at 0,0,0.
This is how it was created.
I assumed there would be offset and rotation info the the .fld file but,
I can find this groups of items but not any location/rotation info.
Oh well. I can work it out from there.
