Door/Windows - changing one parameter equalizes all parameters for the selected doors.

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:27:33 GMT

When I have a lot of windows/doors in the selection set and I wan't to change, let's say, their Dimension Marker all of the selected parameters in the Settings Menu get applied to all selected doors.

Basically if I have a 70/210 and a 100/210 door and if I change their pens for example the pens change, but both of them become either 100/210 or 70/210.

I remember that this wasn't the case before and it happens to me for the first time.

If you select multiple elements, go into Setting Dialog and change a parameter / setting, that is all that should change for those selected elements.

If you use the 'syringe' to insert parameters, then everything will change.

Same with applying a favourite setting: everything will change.

I suppose if the door script is set to change things based on that one particular parameter, more changes could occur (for example, if you enable to show a sill type, it will enable more parameters that show up on the other doors).

Yes, this is the way it has always behaved, but not today for some reason. I might have clicked on something which triggered this.

The problem still persists.
