how to set Element Classification of an object?

Anonymous

Hello,

Is it possible to set the Element Classification (and other classifications and properties) of an object through gdl or the object editor? If so,how would I do it? I'm trying to set the Element Classification of a window to "Window" instead of "ArchiCAD Type".

No, you have to set it for each individual instance.
You can set the default for the window tool before you start placing windows and you can also save the settings with favourites.

Does it not just match the last classification for the tool? In this the Window Tool which is has a default classification of "Window".
