Window object won't change

Anonymous

I have inserted a normal window into a wall. I want to change the height and the pen settings.

The 'OK' button is greyed out and I can't make any changes.

Why won't it work?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Windows (and doors) do not have layers - but 'belong' to the walls that host them. If the host wall's layer is locked, the OK button will be disabled for the window settings. You can lock/unlock the host wall's layer via the context menu (right click) on the wall itself, via the Layers dialog, the Quick Layers palette among other means.

It is also possible to lock individual elements, including windows. If your window is locked, the OK button will also be disabled. (The window can be locked via Edit > Locking > Lock and unlocked via Edit > Locking > Unlock (All))

Cheers,
Karl
