# Modify Elements and Multi-Rule Manager

To make unique changes for hanger placement, use the ʻ**Modify Elements**ʼ or ʻ**Multi-Rule Manager**ʼ commands.

These commands work on both **native Revit MEP elements** (Ducts, Pipes, Cable Trays, Conduits) and **MEP Fabrication Parts**.

### Modify Elements

This command can be used on a hanger or an MEP element that has hangers inserted on it. It will open the configurations window where you can make unique changes to the configuration - change the hanger thatʼs being inserted, the structure that the hanger connects to, hanger spacing, and more.&#x20;

{% endhint %}

The '**Modify**' command can only be executed for one MEP element at a time. Changes made in the configurations window will apply to all hangers inserted on that specific MEP element.

After you make the needed changes in a configuration, click '**Update**' on the bottom right of the window to finish the command. These changes will not affect the main configuration as long as you do not click the 'Save' icon at the top, by the Configuration name.

'Save' will override the configuration, or if you donʼt have this configuration, it will load it to your Configurations folder.

### Multi-Rule Manager

MEP elements can have several hanger configurations inserted on them. If you use 'Modify Elements' on the MEP element, the configuration window for the first configuration will open. To access other configurations, use the '**Multi-Rule Manager**'.

You will be prompted with a window where all the inserted configurations are visible. Here you can choose a configuration to modify or select multiple configurations to be updated ('Update Elements' command) or deleted ('Delete Elements' command).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/mep-hangers/commands/modify-elements-and-multi-rule-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
