Change a Building Component to Another Component

You can change a building component to another component that is already in the building. A building component can be a stair, a door, a window, a single window trim, etc.

The locating point of the new component is positioned at the locating point of the component being changed. The rotating and mirroring information of the component to be changed remain unchanged.

  1. Select the component to be changed. You can select several components by holding down the Ctrl key or using the area selection.
  2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  3. Select Change Building Component > To Another.
  4. If the building has multiple identical components, you will be prompted: "Change all building components of the same kind?" Select either of the following:
    • Change all
    • Change selected
  5. Click the component you want to switch to.
Note: The function is not available for a component modeled with the 3D modeler (Vertex G4) that is added to a building as a part or assembly model (the component has parameter G4P=2).
