Specifying the Display of Curtain Wall Units
The display of a curtain wall unit depends on the direction from which you view the curtain wall unit. In Plan view,
the curtain wall unit is displayed as parallel lines with vertices marking the grid lines, as an architect would typically
draw a curtain wall unit. In 3D isometric views, the curtain wall unit is displayed as it would appear in the real world,
with surfaces showing length, thickness, and height. You control what you want to display in each particular view.
Element Definitions and Custom Display Components
By default, the display of all infills, frames, and mullions are controlled by the display properties of the default infill,
default frame, and default mullions. However, you can add individual element definitions as components with separate
display properties. For example, if you define two infills called stone panel and acetylene panel, by default they are
both controlled by the same default infill display properties. However, you can add each definition as a new display
component and control the display properties separately.
NOTE The component name in the Custom Display Component dialog box must match the name of element definition in
the Design Rules tab. Otherwise the element definition does not display properly.
For more information about the display system, see “ Display System ” on page 443.
Materials and Display Properties
You can use materials to control the display of both default and custom infills, frames, and mullions. When you assign
materials to the element definitions you create, you do not need to define these definitions as custom display
components. For more information, see “
Specifying the Materials of a Curtain Wall Unit Style ” on page 874.
Adding Curtain Wall Unit Element Definitions as Display Components
Use this procedure to add curtain wall unit element definitions. Before you can control the display properties of curtain
wall unit elements according to the definition assigned to the element, you must create display components for each
element definition.
1 On the Format menu, click Style Manager.
