  • Selecting one piecemark with multiple members under it results in your multi-editing all members that have been assigned that one piecemark.
  • No matter what view you are in, you can select any members that are in the 3D model.
  • If you select the piecemarks of members that are different types (for example, beams and columns), the Edit Properties window opens.
  • If a Multiple Edit Password has been set up, you cannot multi-edit until you have entered that exact, case-sensitive password.
  • Be aware of the meaning of mixed entries. They indicate that different settings have been applied to the members being edited. You may find mixed entries even when the members you are editing all have the same piecemark. You can edit such fields.
