Apply a new material and change thickness of a wall, slab or roof
Use this tool to apply a new material and change the thickness of a wall, slab or roof. If your wall, slab or roof will consist of multiple material layers, choose one to be the ‘core’ layer. Typically this will be the structural layer, e.g. bricks in a cavity wall or studs in a stud wall.
Under the Detail icon, click Replace with Layer
Select one or more walls, roofs or slabs
Choose a material. Your project material libraries will be displayed here, as well as the materials already in the currently open model.
Enter a thickness
(optional) Click 'show preview'. The selected walls will now become transparent, and a preview of the new material will be visible on top of it. Hovering the cursor over this preview will highlight it in blue. Left-click the highlighted preview to change the alignment if the thickness has changed. Note: previews of adjacent walls will be grouped together so that you can change the alignment of multiple walls at the same time.
Click Apply or press Enter
The new material and thickness will now be applied to the selected building elements.
