How to generally change all Black Fill Background to transparent on objects, doors and windows and 3d detail to Full without changing it individually. It took me a lot of time to change it individually as I import new doors and object to the floor plan and all of the elements its because of the new template Im using. is there a way where i can change it and select it all.

Rather than changing every object to suit the pens in your template (which you will have to continually do), change the pens in your template to suit the objects.

But note this will affect everything that uses that particular pen.

 

So if you are using the default Archicad library, you really want all of the pens, surface materials, building materials, fills, line types etc. in your template to suit the library.

You can use graphic overrides to change all objects, windows and doors

Detail settings are available in the Model view options

Just be aware Graphic Overrides affect the entire element (object).

So if there are separate fills, say for the wall hole (opening) and another for the frame, they may both be overridden.

 

Also while using the overrides, you can not make changes in the object, because they will simply be overridden.
