Specifying a nested grid in a door/window assembly
Defining Nested Grids
You can define nested grids on the Design Rules tab of the Door/Window Assembly Style Properties dialog box. The
tree on the left side of the tab lists the grids. There is always one primary grid. The primary grid can have one or more
secondary grids. Each secondary grid can have one or more tertiary grids and so on.
TIP To quickly create nested grids in all cells, change the default cell assignment to Nested Grid. If you want multiple levels
of nesting, be sure to change the default cell assignment for each grid. For more information, see
“ Creating a Nested Grid
for a Door and Window Assembly ” on page 939 .
Each grid has its own cell assignments. You assign cells to contain another grid, a panel infill, or an object such as a
door or window. For more information, see “
Assigning Infills to Door and Window Assembly Cells ” on page 937.
Creating a Nested Grid for a Door and Window Assembly
Use this procedure to create a nested grid, which is a grid within a grid. Each nested grid has its own division rules, cell
assignments, frame, and mullions. By default, the frame is off for nested grids.
For more information, see “ Working with Nested Grids in Door and Window Assemblies ” on page 937.
