How do I edit glazing properties for doors and windows?

How do I model an external door with glazing? I understand that for the Part L calculation, the software treats any door with more than 50% glazing as a window, but how do you set the glazing percentage on a door?

I've also altered the default glazing percentage for windows using the process shown in the blog post, but is there a way to change individual window glazing percentages? When I go into a window's properties the option is greyed out.

Is there a way to edit multiple wall sub-types from partition to exposed and vice-versa?

I am working with a series of drawings that I have imported from Hevacomp to EnergySimulator. In the transition many of the internal walls have been changed to exposed walls. I can easily change the sub-types but it's a slow process doing it for each individual wall section. I have tried selecting multiple surface to change at once, but I can't seem to select them. Is it possible to do this at the moment?

As a side note, after clicking a surface, it takes up to 5seconds for the properties box to pop-up, which feels incredibly slow (see attached video). Is this the same for everyone or an issue I'm having with my install?

Thanks,

Ralph
