To modify a type property of a wall, you change the value of the corresponding parameter as described under Modifying Type Properties.
See also Function of Walls, Floors, and Building Pads.
Common type properties for walls are described below.

| Width | Sets the width of the wall. |
| Function | Categorizes the wall as Exterior, Interior, Retaining, Foundation, Soffit, or Core-shaft. Function is used in scheduling and to create filters that simplify a model for visibility or when exporting. Wall function is also used when creating a gbXML export.
