The window for editing multiple panels at once. The top settings configure what data to change, the bottom settings configure how to change that data.

Many things in a Project, ranging from Stakeholders to Overlays to Buildings, have Attributes, allowing generic properties to be configured for them. Attributes can be edited on a per-component basis, but it's also possible to manipulate the Attributes of many components at once.

Editor → The type of data to edit (Ribbon bar) → Edit multiple Attributes (Dropdown)
How to edit Attributes from multiple components at once:
  1. Open the "Edit multiple Attributes" window.
  2. Select the type of data to edit Attributes of.
  3. If applicable, select a data-specific filter. For example: Buildings can be filtered on category.
  4. If you only want to edit Attributes of data which already has a specific Attribute, activate the "With Attribute" filter and select the Attribute to filter on.
  5. If you only want to edit Attributes from data of which the filter Attribute's value meets a certain requirement, activate the "With Value" filter and configure it as desired.
  6. Select the Attribute you want to change.
  7. If you only want to change data which already has that Attribute, check the "Only if has Attribute" checkbox.
  8. Set the new value for the Attribute
  9. Click on "Set Value".
  10. The specified Attribute is now changed for all the data matching the filter (or all data of the selected type, if no filter was specified).

Notes

  • If any data matches the filter but does not (yet) have the Attribute, and the "Only if has Attribute" is checked, the Attribute will be created with the specified value.
  • When changing an Attribute which is to represent a Color value, the "Color" checkbox can be checked. This enables a color picker, the result of which is automatically translated to the appropriate Color value.
