Windows & Doors - changing material

Anonymous
Not applicable
OK - so I have been using AC now for a while and one thing that I find frustrating is the amount of mouse clicks it takes to change the colour of a window, with a minimum of 6 materials properties to change this can be time consuming.

Have I missed something?

Is there a way of selecting more than one material to change, rather than having to do each individually?

The glass does of course need to stay as glass!!

Try the modular joinery object - it's free to all subscribers. Refer to my post here which discusses the selection of materials. You would need only 1 or 2 clicks to set materials with this object, but you have the option to be extremely detailed if you really want to.
