how to select all windows regardless of size and type

[thomhu]

I would like to change the grid pattern to a single vertical stile on all windows on an existing plan. When I use the marquee tool, it will only select similar types. Is there a way to select all windows at once including mulled units? I've changed it in the defaults but it is not updating. I do not have restrictive selection checked.

You can hold the control key and select each window that you want to include but I dont think you can include the mulled units.

There are several ways to do what you're you're attempting to do, BUT you have to consider the fact that Chief won't allow you to change the properties for a mulled unit when selected along with a normal window.  That being said, the most all-encompassing solution is this:

 

1. Drop a window schedule into your plan that only includes only a 2D Symbol column.  There are other columns that would work as well, but the idea is to use a single column so that only one line item is generated by the schedule.
2. Set the schedule to include all relevant window types.
3. Select the one single line item in your schedule and click the Open Row Object tool.  This will essentially let you edit every single window in the plan.  You can optionally use the Find Object(s) in Plan tool if you want to select and edit for only a specific floor.

In order for the above to work for mulled units, you will need to set all mulled units to Show Component Labels so that they are being listed (and therefore selected and edited) as individual units and not as mulled units.  There are sneaky ways to make quick/temporary work of this as well, but that is a different thing.
