The same dialog box that was used to define the settings opens. Therefore, the setting of an element can be changed individually or an entirely different setting can be assigned. After selecting this function, the roof structure is displayed in grey for improved clarity and the element boundaries and their element numbers are shown. As soon as an element is selected, the settings dialog box opens. You then change the setting or choose a completely different saved setting from the drop-down list. When you change the setting, the name of the current setting in the drop-down list is shown in parentheses. This indicates that the element's current setting no longer exactly matches the saved setting. As soon as you exit the dialog box with "Ok", the element receives the new setting. However, this does not yet affect the components. After you have changed all desired elements, select the "Recalculate Elementation" function. The components of the elements are then re-created according to the new rules. If you exit the dialog box with the button "*Recalculate*" the element is recalculated immediately. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.dietrichs.com/dietrichs-intelligent-documentation/docs-de-en/design-program/modellbereiche/dach/systeme/dachelemente/dachelemente-elementeinstellung-bearbeiten.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
