Assigning materials or attributes to several elements or changing these materials or attributes

Imagine the following situations: You want to change the top layer of the floor from carpet to parquet for a number of rooms with finishing surfaces.

Or you want to assign the underfloor heating attribute to the screed (the first layer of the floor) in several rooms so that these rooms can be analyzed accordingly.
