Global Material changes of Library Components

Anonymous
Not applicable
At the risk of being repetitive (in spite of many searches) a fairly basic question.

The library window and door frames are defaulted to Pine.
Unfortunately, reality seems to require WHITE upvc and painted door frames.

Two part question.

1/ Is there a simple way to Globally change the Library default to Paint 00?

2/ If not, when changing Materials on a specific window, is there any way of grouping the selection of items - frames/sashes/cills etc - and making just one pick, rather than the tedious one entity at a time, pick arrow, pick colour, pick next line?

Yes, that does appear to be logical as a work around, thanks.

In actual fact, its is not all the sizes that I would need, those can be readily adjusted on the fly, but one of each type/configuration in pvc / alum / timber would alleviate the hassle of the line by line re-setting.

absolutely. the screenshot was an example. set them up for what works best for you . . . the point is that ALL parameter settings are saved with the favourite - except where specified otherwise in the favourites preferences.
