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.
