To Create a Division Definition for a Curtain Wall Unit

Use this procedure to create divisions for a curtain wall unit grid.

Because curtain wall units can contain multiple nested grids, it is helpful to use a naming convention for grids that indicates the level of each grid and the grid location or the purpose within the curtain wall unit. For example, L3-FL1-Stone Panels can identify a third level grid that provides a row of stone panels on Floor 1.

  1. Click Manage tab Style & Display panel Style Manager .
  2. Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Curtain Wall Styles.
  3. Select a curtain wall unit style.
  4. Click the Design Rules tab.
  5. In the left pane, select Divisions under Element Definitions.
  6. Click New Division.
  7. Enter a name for this division definition.
  8. Click either Horizontal or Vertical for Orientation.
  9. Select one of the following division types and specify offsets if needed.
    Division Type Description
    Fixed Cell Dimension Creates a grid where the size of the individual cells is predetermined.
    Fixed Number of Cells Creates a grid where the number of grid cells is predetermined.
    Manual Creates a grid where the size and number of individual cells is manually determined by the user.

    After you create a division definition, you can assign the definition to a specific grid in a curtain wall unit.

  10. When you are finished creating division definitions, click OK.
