Mullion Type Properties: Rectangular

For a rectangular mullion family, you can define the angle, offset, profile, position, and more.

To change type properties, select an element and click Modify tabProperties panel (Type Properties). Changes to type properties apply to all instances in the project.

Name Description
Constraints
Angle Rotates the mullion around the grid line.

Enter a value between 90 and -90 degrees.

This value works with the Position parameter to determine the placement of the mullion.

Offset Adjusts the position of the mullion in relation to the curtain wall.

The offset is measured from the centerline of the mullion profile family.

By default, this centerline is aligned to the centerline of the curtain wall.

Construction
Profile The 2D shape to extrude along the grid line to form the mullion.

Select a profile family from the list.

You can use a profile from the library, or create and load a custom profile.

Position Changes the mullion's orientation.

Normal to Face (1) is the usual condition. Parallel to Ground (2) is appropriate for sloped curtain panels, such as in sloped glazing.

This value works with the Angle parameter to determine the placement of the mullion.

Corner Mullion Indicates whether the mullion is a corner mullion.

This parameter cannot be changed. It is part of the definition of the system mullion family.

Thickness The measurement of the mullion from the front of the curtain wall to the back.
If you have a loaded a custom profile, this value is calculated from the mullion profile.
Materials and Finishes
Material The material for the mullion.
Dimensions
Width on side 2 The measurement from the grid line to an edge of the mullion.

Use this value to adjust the mullion to the left or right of the grid line, if needed.

If you have a loaded a custom profile, this value is calculated from the mullion profile.

Width on side 1 The measurement from the grid line to an edge of the mullion.

Use this value to adjust the mullion to the left or right of the grid line, if needed.

If you have a loaded a custom profile, this value is calculated from the mullion profile.
