transferring attributes from favorites

Dave Brach — Thu, 25 May 2023 06:40:02 GMT

I have a model of a house with 20-30 various windows. I'd like to transfer the attributes of one of my window favorites (surfaces, jamb/sash dimensions, wall connection etc) onto all the windows at once but without changing the the current sizes or locations of the windows. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

You can define a specific Element Transfer Setting for this.
First: unselect all options. Then go to the Door/Window option and select only the parameters you want to transfer.
Hope this helps.

I am not sure modifying Element Transfer Settings will solve this. We are talking about Library Part parameters here, and Element Transfer Settings are not granular enough to accommodate this. You cannot define a specific selection of Library Part parameters to be transferred.

What you can do is you can memorize the parameters, or you can create a screenshot of all the parameters you want to transfer. Keep it in an image editor for reference.
Then select all Doors your want those parameter settings transferred to. Then simply set those parameters to the same values based on the reference screenshot.
