Sigma W question

Hello,

I got a question about sigma W.

I am using this software in order to verify the inmediate settlements underneath a mat foundation.

I already modeled my mat and all the soil layers underneath. Some times, by accident, I assign the wrong material properties to several elements. In order to solve this I click on the KeyIn menu, then click on Elements. Then I go one by one changing each element to the correct material property. I think, since there are 10 elements, this is not a problem, but sometimes If I have 100 elements this solution will be somewhat time consuming. Other than deleting the elements with the wrong material properties and re-creating a mesh, Is there any way where I could select using the control key all the elements I want to change their properties and do it only once?
