Modify Window dialog

Used to modify an existing window in the model.

Tip: Selecting a new windows type from the catalog item selector, opens the Change Type dialog, where the Old Value and the New Value columns are displayed for review and a new type can be applied.

The modify window command is completed with a single data point. The window recognizes the wall element (or wall assembly) in which it resides and anticipates the modification operation when modified.
Modification operations can be completed on selection sets of windows and all modifications are properly completed regardless of differences among window attributes.
Multiple window attributes can be modified in one operation for individual and multiple elements in a selection set. For example, the width of a window and the window type can be changed simultaneously in the same operation.
