Building Locations - TFP12

I have drawn exterior walls with default building locations settings for head height, wall height, ceiling height.
I then realised I should have increased these values to 2100mm, 2700mm, 2700mm respectively so I changed the default settings and then drew the interior walls.
In 3D Overview the inner walls are higher than the external walls (as no doubt could be expected).
Can this be fixed easily or do I have to start again and redraw.

Hi Colin,

Anything you change on the Building Locations will only affect things you insert after that except the Floor Level - that will raise or lower the whole Location.

You do not need to re-do it all - you can change them. If you select all the windows for example (or right click and choose Select All Similar, it will select all the windows that are the same), you can then right click again, select Elevate and change the head height. If there are different windows, shift/select each then Elevate.

It you need to change the doors, shift/select each and change the height setting. The width will be in red if you have different width doors - don't touch that of course. Elevate does not work for doors the way you want - elevate will lift the door off the floor.

Same process for the walls - you must 'Select All Similar' (and shift/select any not similar) and then change the height in Wall Properties.  You cannot just select them by draging the mouse over them as you do not get the Properties box that way.

Hope that sorts it out for you.
