Using this tool you will be able to change parametric cell definitions during the design process. Applicable where design requires different styles of doors and/or panels, and change part/family definitions (such as colors and materials) and have them applied to curtain walls that have already been placed the building design. The tool merits over manual process of selecting individual panel, and changing it to something else, and then change it back. The tool, when executed, flashes a message "Regenerating Curtain Wall Elements".
