Complex Profile Wall - Not able to change

Anonymous
Not applicable
It seems I can't change a wall that is a complex profile to a different complex profile with out making it a not complex profile first.

Does that make sense?

I have to change it to a plain wall or composite wall first, get out of wall settings, then go back and change it to my different complex profile that I wanted.. . .

Select the wall and then choose another profile from the list in the info box or wall settings dialogue.
Are you saying that this does not work for you?

Is the list greyed out?
What happens when you choose another name in the list (assuming you can select from the list)?
Does it make a difference if you select the wall in 2D or 3D?

It can't be that your wall or layer is locked because you wouldn't be able to change it to a standard wall either.

It seems to be just this one complex profile that I created, and any complex profile that I created by duplicating that original one.

When I have it selected in my model (2D, 3D, section) I can pick the different profiles from the lists, but when I do it just doesn't change.

Its weird.

I guess there is something broken with that particular wall.
Its frustrating though.
