I had three questions:
1) on an imported curved wall I have 250 surfaces, and I wish to make them layered on the top 1/2 with a new material. Any shortcuts other than to extrude the line segment at the top 1/2 way down?

2) each of these surfaces will need to be made into a new material again: while I can use the optimizer if they are a unique material, is there a way to mark faces (i.e. in the spreadsheet) spread out in a room to change them all simultaneously?

3) what is the recommended method for saving a project at a given point in order to create several alternate approaches from that point (geometry, finishes) that may be in different directions. I can save the data but not "save as". do you make a copy and re-name it?

thanks

Bruce gave me the down-lo:
1) extruding the segment will have to do.

2) any set of faces can be grouped as an object and then properties assigned in a blanket fashion. the object does not need to be "connected" in space

3) "save as" (while the edit project is open) from the main screen. From edit mode you can only save the project under the current name.

Thanks Bruce!
