former Revit user Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) I have a door in a wall that I picked and dropped from the Resource browser. I want to now change that door to a different door but leave it in the same place. Is there anyway to select the door in the wall, and then change it to another size door from the resource browser? or Do I have to drag the size of the door I want from the resource browser to the model space and insert as such to switch them out? This goes for all PIO's windows, cabinets, etc. thanks in advance Edited September 13, 2007 by former Revit user Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) It's all in the manual - but since you ask Is there anyway to select the door in the wall, and then change it to another size door Yes, there is. Edited September 13, 2007 by Petri Quote Link to comment
former Revit user Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Or... I was just watching the new, change multiple objects command video for the latest version and that will certainly do what I was asking for. Quote Link to comment
wezelboy Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 You can use the eyedropper tool. Place your new door somewhere on the drawing. Select the eydropper tool, and click on the eyedropper prefs and check "Plug-in parameters". Then "pickup" the prefs from the new door, then drop them on the door you have in the wall. I think have a script that does something like this for multiple objects, but I'm not sure if it is working right now. I haven't used it in a while. Quote Link to comment

Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 former Revit user, Do you have the Object Info palette open? All objects, especially PIOs have variables accesible from the OI palette. Quote Link to comment
