Sometimes you need to change the type of multiple walls such as if you have accidentally drawn all of your interior walls using an exterior wall type.

To change multiple walls at once

1. First, launch Chief Architect and Open  the plan that has the wall that you want to modify.
   
   
   
2. Next, using the Select Objects  tool, select one wall, then hold down either the Shift, or Control key, on your keyboard, and click to select the remaining walls in the plan that you want to change.
   
   
   
   

    The status bar at the lower left will show the number of objects selected.
   
   If you have trouble selecting walls because of other objects in the same area, you may find it helpful to have a wall tool active when clicking on the walls to group select them, or to create a custom layer set in which only your wall layers are displayed.

   
   
   
3. Click on the Open Object  edit button to display the Wall Specification dialog for all of these walls.
   
   
   
4. On the Wall Types tab, use the drop-down menu to select the appropriate wall type.
   
   
   
5. Once you have selected the appropriate wall type to change these walls to, click OK to apply the change.
