Edit the Framing Tools of More than One Structure
The default framing tools for the layers of a structure can be
set in the structure library. You can change framing tools by
editing the structure properties. Edit the properties of one or
more identical structures as follows:
- Select one or more structures with the same parameters. The
structure can be a wall, horizontal structure or panel.
- Select walls or horizontal structures in the architectural
model. The entire structure is selected. Horizontal structures must
have the same presentation method (expanded/compressed).
- You can select several panels in the frame model. If necessary,
use the selection filter select
Selection Filter, and choose Interior Wall Panel,
Exterior Wall Panel, Floor Panel or Roof
Panel, for example, as the object type.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select
Properties.
- Select a layer in the Layers list.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select
