How can I replace one wall type or style with another?

Product: Architect

1.	Select one or more walls.

2.	From the Object Info palette, select Replace from the Style list.

The Wall Replacement dialog box opens. Specify the new wall style, and then select a component (or the wall) from the current and replacement structure lists. Specify the alignment option for each selection; the preview updates, with a red line showing the replacement alignment.


Parameter	Description
Wall style list	From the list, select the wall style that will replace the current style
Previews	The left preview shows the current wall style, and the right preview shows the replacement wall style selected in the wall style list. Preview walls are drawn from left to right, so the “top” of the preview, by default, indicates the left part of the wall as it will be drawn.
Align lists	On the left, the current wall structure is listed; the right list displays the replacement wall structure. Select one wall component from each list and specify its alignment options. The previews update with red lines to show how the replacement wall will align with the current wall.
Alignment options	Select an option for aligning the current structure to the replacement structure
Replacement options	Select whether to replace the current settings for wall height, class, and texture (Renderworks required for textures) with those of the new wall
