Favorites

Hi all
I have created some favorites (walls, windows). Now if I want to make
any change in these favorites, I can't save (replace) them under their current name. I must type another name for them and thus I have many useless favorites laying up.
Is there any way to change existing favorites and save under their current name or at least to delete the old ones?

If you have the Favourites pallette on you can overwrite existing favourites, (Redefine with current default). But, yes, annoying isn't it that you can't do that in the tool you are creating the favourite in.

Yes, make a change to a favorite item on plan, select it, then in the favorites pallette highlight the items name - then upper right drop out of the Favorites Pallette, select (Redefine with Last Selected) It updates it. done.

Yes GS has outdone themselves with just different methods of saving various attributes - from dimension preferences to pens and colours. The dimension preferences cant be easily overwritten and need to do a delete sidestep shuffle to change the preset.

Thanx for help. It's a little complicated, but it works.
