SIDUG Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi everyone: I have just finished all my floor plans when the client decided to add stone veneer to the outside walls. I have replaced the wall styles with a proper one but the window sill need to be extended. Is there a way to globally change the sill width on this project? The "settings" box is greyed out after a custom selection of all windows. Also Is a there a way to globally change the Wall Height (z) ALL Wall Styles? "Edit" is not available when Multiple wall styles are selected in Resources. Thank you so much for your help in advance, sincerely Sidug Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You might be able to do some of it using the eyedropper tool. But unfortunately I don't think the tool will discriminate between the various different "Plug-in Settings". So be aware that in applying the eyedropper, the size of the window may also change along with the sill. I'll bet one of the awesome scripters here would be able to write something...

michaelk Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Often you can set one window the way you want and use a worksheet and copy and paste the values from one cell to a range of cells. You can't copy and paste pulldown options, but you can change them in a worksheet much more quickly than selecting each window. hth mk Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi, Don't you just change 1 window and then use the OI-shape an select the window then select the copy or apply. Trick I found (maybe better way) select the first window as the base then select the others that need changing, with all selected select the copy or apply then select copy from selected object and apply to the selected window objects. Make sure you only select the attributes to apply to the one you want ie trim and sill settings in your case hopefully click ok and all the sills will change. Trust this helps Quote Link to comment
SIDUG Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi Peter, mk & Alan: Thank you for all the advice. Unfortunately these windows are all embedded in walls so I was hoping to select them all then do a global change. mk: I don't know how to copy values from a window to a work sheet. Is it possible that you expand your method a little bit more? Thanks Sidug Quote Link to comment
