If you have specified a folder, you can specify whether the subfolders of that folder should be updated as
well. To update the subfolders, select Process subfolders.
NOTE When you are working with a large building project, updating all sections and elevations can be a
time-consuming process. In this case, you might consider updating only a selected subfolder of your project and

Updating Legacy Drawings
During the global update of 2D sections and elevations, each drawing in the project or specified folder is opened,
updated, and saved again. If you are updating drawings from an earlier version of the software, the drawings are
converted to the current version. Before you convert the drawings, a warning message notifies you of the conversion.
To update the drawings to the new version, click OK. To cancel the update of all sections and elevations, press
CTRL+BREAK
.

■
The drawing containing the 2D section or elevation is read-only.
