Removing an Assignment from a Curtain Wall Style
Use this procedure to remove cell assignments, frame assignments, and mullion assignments from a curtain wall style.
You cannot remove default assignments, but you can modify them to suit your needs.
NOTE Each grid requires one division assignment. Therefore, you cannot remove the division assignment, although you can
change the division element used for the division assignment.
1 On the Format menu, click Style Manager.
2 Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Curtain Wall Styles.
3 Select a curtain wall style.
4 Click the Design Rules tab.

Assigning Definitions to Curtain Wall Frames
The curtain wall frame is represented by the outer edges of the primary grid. Each nested grid has its own frame that
is defined separately from the primary grid frame. By default, the frames of nested grids are turned off. For more
information about nested grids, see “
Working with Nested Grids in Curtain Walls ” on page 786.
Frame Assignments
A frame assignment defines the frame definition that is used by each frame edge. You can use one frame assignment
to assign the same definition to all four edges of the frame, or you can create multiple frame assignments to assign
different definitions to different edges of the frame. Unassigned edges are not displayed.
Do not assign multiple definitions to the frame edge because only the last definition assigned to the edge is used.
Default Frame Assignment
There is a default frame assignment and you can select the frame edges it applies to. You can modify the default
assignment to use any frame definition, but you cannot delete the default frame assignment.
Materials and Display Properties of Frames
The layer, color, linetype, and other display properties of the default frame are applied to all frame edges unless you
assign materials to the frame definition or you create a custom display component for each definition. You can then
control the display of each frame definition independently. For more information, see “
Specifying the Display of Curtain
Walls ” on page 799.
Adding a New Frame Assignment to a Curtain Wall
Use this procedure to add a frame assignment to a curtain wall. To assign different definitions to different frame edges,
you need multiple frame assignments.
1 On the Format menu, click Style Manager.
2 Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Curtain Wall Styles.
3 Select a curtain wall style.
4 Click the Design Rules tab.
