Modifying Walls
After creating a wall, you can modify it by changing the wall type or resizing the wall.
Changing Wall Types
When you activate the Wall tool to place walls, you can use the Type Selector drop-down to select different
types of walls.
Wall Properties
Walls have properties based on whether they are interior or exterior walls. You can modify the properties
of one wall type and set them for all walls of that type. For example, if you set properties for a basic interior
wall type, then all interior walls assume those property values. You can also select an instance of a wall and
change its parameters only.
NOTE Be aware that the type names do not update upon changing parameters. For example, you could set the
width of a 200 mm exterior wall to 250 mm and its name will not change.
