Model Text Type Properties

To modify a type property of model text, you change the value of the corresponding parameter as described under Modifying Type Properties.

Note: Changing a model text type property will affect all model text of that type in the project. Note also that the type name does not update when you change type parameter values. For example, you could use the type parameter Structure to change the width of the Generic - 6” wall type to 6.5”, but the type name will remain Generic - 6”. If you want to create a new model text type, click Duplicate. For more information, see Creating a New Family Type in a Project.
