Apply Properties

If making a change to a field in a Properties [X] dialogue box (walls, parts, components, design zones, etc.) it will only initially make a change to that a single item.

However, the user can utilize the Apply properties to.. feature to quickly apply change to others of the same type. This means that users don't have to change the line item in each property box individually.

For a property change to be applied, first make the change in the appropriate field (ie. the style of a pole from round cover cap to accent), and then ensure the box to the left of the changed field is checked. Remember, the boxes to the right always turns that field on/off.

Some fields are automatically checked, while others need to manually be checked on or off. This is based on which properties are most likely to be applied to others.

Once the left box is checked, use one of the Apply Properties To… buttons at the bottom of the property menu.

ROOM: Applies the change to all the same type in the whole design.

WALL: Applies the change to the same types in the same Design Zone.

COMP: Applies the change to the same types within the same component.

SELECT: User can left click on the specific parts/components to the change to others.

Some options may be disabled depending on which type of property dialogue is in use. For example, if making changes on an island plane, the options would be different. Sometimes, certain options may also be disabled for selection.

ISLAND: Applies the change to both sides of an island plane.

PLANE: Applies the change to just the current side of the island plane.
