Changing window patterns

Bogbadbob658 · 7th Nov 2009, 01:44 am

I'm teaching myself Architecture and I have hit a snag. I have used 2 window patterns within my model but when I edit the muntins it does it to all the windows of both the window styles. I want to be able to edit the muntins to individual windows. Can anybody help?

if you select the window and right click. You have the option to "edit window style" or "edit object" Choose the second of the two "edit object" when the little window comes up click in the box on the right of the column in the areas you wish to change, so for me it would be elevation, model, and high detail model. Then you can change it in anyway you like, and it would then be by object instead of style. If you have more windows that need the same grid change, the match properties as of ACA 2009 can be used on AEC objects. If you have a ton of windows that need this second grid, then I would just copy and assign to a new style, and keep a third style within the drawing.
