When editing parcel styles for multiple parcels, which workflow is correct?

• A. Open the Style Manager and adjust default settings only
• B. Select a single parcel and apply changes to the entire drawing
• C. When multiple parcels are selected, use the Properties dialog to modify the style
• D. Open the Properties dialog for a single parcel and apply changes to all selected parcels

Answer: (C)

When you want the same look for several parcels, you change the style while multiple parcels are selected. In Civil 3D, parcel appearance is controlled by a style, and applying that style to all the chosen parcels in one operation updates them consistently. Open the Properties dialog (or Quick Properties) with all target parcels selected and set the desired Parcel Style. This directly updates each selected parcel at once. Using the Style Manager adjusts default settings or new objects but doesn’t retroactively apply to already existing parcels unless you reassign styles, and changing a single parcel’s properties won’t reliably propagate to all others. So, select the parcels and modify the style through the Properties dialog to apply the change to all.
