Modifying Structural Walls

You modify wall properties, on the Properties palette. To open the dialog, do one of the following:

• Select the wall.
• Right-click the wall and click Properties. The context menu also contains several options for manipulating the wall, such as changing the zoom scale.

Changing Structural Wall Types

Select a wall in the drawing area, and then select a different family type in the Type Selector at the top of the Properties palette.

Interior and Exterior Structural Wall Properties

The properties of a wall vary, depending on whether it is an interior or an exterior wall. In addition, when you modify type properties, all walls of that type are modified. When you modify instance properties, the properties of a single instance of a wall are modified.

Note: When you modify parameters, the type names do not update. For example, if you change the width of an exterior wall from 200 mm to 250 mm, its name retains a reference to the original width.
