You can set up favorites or open the library parts to edit the default settings.

In the latter case it is recommended to save the modified parts with different names (such as adding an abbreviation of the firm name) into an office standard library to avoid confusion (and possibly overwriting the modified parts later when replacing the GS library).

You can alt/opt click on a window/door whose parameters you've set to your pen standards.

Next open the window settings box and crtl/cmnd click on the picture of your new window choice [in the bottom left corner of the window settings box].

All similar parameters will now be set to your office standards. This will minimize the number of parameters that need to be reset

Same for doors.

Matthew
yes i thought about that but its time consuming to change attributes of all the windows/door in the library
