Create a Curtain System from a Mass

Create curtain systems on any mass faces or generic model faces using the Curtain System by Face tool.

Curtain systems do not have editable sketches. Use curtain walls if you require an editable sketch on a vertical mass face.

Note: You cannot edit the profile of a curtain system. If you want to edit the profile, place a curtain wall.
