Select an element to change its type.
Use the Type Selector to swap the family type assigned to one or more selected elements.
Note: Multiple element selections must be of the same category.
For example:
- Walls: During schematic design, use generic walls to plan the layout. During design development, change the walls to specific types to provide more detailed information.
- Text: To use a different font in text notes, swap the family type.
- Symbols: Change the symbol used for elevations.
To change the family type assigned to elements
- Select one or more elements.
- On the Properties Palette, use the Type Selector to select the desired type. If the type is not listed, load the family first.
When you select a new type, all selected elements change to that type.
If you need to change parameters of the selected type, click Edit Type on the Properties palette.
