Replace window

in BricsCAD BIM

I've placed a single-pane window in the building I'm modeling, but now, for design reasons, I need to replace it with a three-pane window. Is there a way to do this? Or do I just have to delete the incorrect window and place the new one, adjusting its dimensions and position all over again?

    Insert the new Window Type somewhere in a Wall

    (To have that Block saved in your drawing)

    Select your old Window

    _blockreplace

    Select the new Window Type in your Block List

    Finally again a _BIMWINDOWUPDATE to update the Wall Opening

    Thank you so much, I wasn't familiar with that command. I tried it, but I noticed it replaces all the blocks of that window. Is there a way to replace only the one I want, leaving the rest of the windows as they are?

    Oh, I tested having a single Block Instance only - good to know. Wouldn't have expected replacing all instances.


    Doesn't make much sense to me. Usually I would select all Block instances I want to replace in that case.

    Unfrortunately I do not find any Options or Settings for BLOCKREPLACE.

    I have mentioned SR many times, but it hasn't attracted any attention. I hope to have a plugin that is as unique as SKETCHUP. Separate this window from the others, making it an independent window with its own unique characteristics. Only then will the replacement method work properly.
