object parameters - change more than 1 material at a time?

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:20:30 GMT

i searched for this but didn't come up with anything although i'd be surprised if this hasn't been discussed before, and i'm even more surprised that i've waited so long to ask!

can i change more than one material at a time? say i have a door and would like to change frame, panel etc material. i have to select them one at a time and change. is there a key i can hold down to select multiple components and then change the material only once?

This is not possible as a function of Archicad (ie. there is no key combination you can hold down to do this). There are some parts out there that are written to do this but because each one must be specially written in GDL for this function each one will likely work a bit differently. They are also a bit few and far in between.

This would not be a bad idea for a wish though....
