You can swap a window, door or any other building component you have added to the building by selecting a matching component from another manufacturer’s library. The matching component is searched from the new library on the basis of a change key. The program searches a component with the same change key as the original component from the library. If the change key has not been defined, the program searches a component from the library on the basis of the original component’s parameters, for example width and height.
If only one suitable option is found from the new library, the program selects it automatically. If there are several options matching the search criteria in the library, you can select the most suitable one.
If the size of the original component and the new component is not the same, the last used reference point of the original component is selected as a fixed point which defines the location of the new component. Alternatively, you can select any point of the original component as the fixed point, see Setting a Fixed Pointtd.
Swap the building component's library as follows:
macro_lib_change_params= TYPE|ROW:20|ROH:20|FRAME_THICK:10
When a numeric parameter is used, a search tolerance is also defined, for example for the width of an opening ROW:20. This means, that an opening whose width is the width of the original opening ±20 mm is searched from the new component library.
