Please add your question.  You should have posted your question first here and used the video to clarify it.  Asking the question afterwards just doesn't work.

My question is How to lock the floor and other walls to NOT change its size when i change the type of the wall, to one with external layer (wood layer in this case).

I want the floor and walls to stay exactly how they were. i don't want them to change in size when i change the wall type  to a thicker one.

i hope it was understandable. quite difficult to phrase..

If you change a layer thickness then the wall will obviously change size. 1+1+1 = 3, 1+1+2=4 Simple math.

If you want the wall to stay the same overall thickness then you must subtract the difference elsewhere.

Are you sure your question is not really about wall location?  You can change that so the wall says in the same relative location.

Align and lock the floor to the inside face of the wall, then the floor will stay attached to the inside face of the wall so if you placed your wall correctly and make it thicker it will extend the exterior face of the wall out and not move the inside face.  Also if you have the same wall type going from first floor to second floor why do you have to separete walls, just make them one wall.

"Are you sure your question is not really about wall location?"  WWHub beat me to it and this is more of what your problem is than your wall thickness.

WWHub, i'm not talking about the wall thickness. the one wall i changed it's type will obviously be thicker...

i'm talking about the size of the FLOOR, and the LENGTH of the other walls which suddely changed.

The problem is your wall location as WWHub stated.  When you make the wall thicker it is pushing out and your floor is following it.

"... i problem stays the floor....."   ? Huh?

If your wall intersects the floor and your wall and floor layers are correct, you can join the two objects and one will cut the other according to the layer function. 

Please read this topic in your HELP:

"Applying a Function to a Layer of a Compound Structure"

I mean: My problem stays the floor. sorry for that.

my problem is still that the floor change its size in accordiance with the wall.my goal is that the floor will stay in exactly the same size.
