FIGURE 1.14: The Edit Type button allows you to access the type parameters.
At this point, you have one of two choices. You can either make a new wall
type (leaving this specific wall unmodified) by clicking the Duplicate button, or
you can start editing the wall’s type properties, as shown in Figure 1.15.
WarNiNg I cannot stress enough that if you start modifying type
properties without duplicating the type, you need to do so in a very deliber-
ate manner. You can easily affect the model in an unintended manner. We
will discuss the specifics of all of the wall’s type parameters in Chapter 16,
“Advanced Wall Topics.”
FIGURE 1.15: The type parameters are used to modify the wall system’s global settings.
