Changing linear templates on civil cells

Question

Hi 
 I want to "change" the linear template end condition applied to some of the standard civil cells. I am able to edit the template, but want to know if i can change the entire template i.e. change from with to without sidewalk? I would like to do this so i don't have to recreate a cell library with all the possible combinations. 
 I would also like to change the radii of the curves on the T junctions after placing the civil cells, again so i don't have to recreate the library. Is this possible? If so please point me in the right direction. 
 version No. 08.11.09.789 
 Regards 
 David

Thanks Derek The handles weren't showing up but i was able to edit the elements from the element information dialog box so that is sorted now. But your idea triggered something, i figured it out. I needed to open project explorer then go to the civil cell, once i had the template drop selected i was able to edit it under the element information box.

Hope that helps someone else in the future.

Hi David 
 
Cells have changed slightly since the first SS3 release, but he steps I outline below will be applicable to all releases using civil cells. 
 
1. It is advisable to make a copy of the cell library prior to editing 
2. to Add elements or CHANGE a type of corridor, the user must follow the steps below 
 a. Drop the civil cell 
 b. Make the additions / modifications to the cell 
 c. "Regroup" the civil cell (i.e. recreate the civil cell) 
3. dimensional changes "usually" can be made without dropping the cell - a user can verify this by making the geometric modifications, then using element info on the cell to verify it is still "valid" for placement 
4. if the changes have made the cell "invalid" for placement, - Drop the cell and regroup it.
