To Create a Curtain Wall Unit Infill Override

Use this procedure to override the infill of a curtain wall unit cell.

For example, you might have a row of simple concrete panels in your curtain wall unit, but want in one location a nested grid instead of the concrete panel. In that case, it might be simpler to use an infill override, instead of creating a complex curtain wall unit style setting.

Note: To override an infill assignment, the cell markers need to be visible.

To exchange an infill definition, the new infill definition must already be defined in the curtain wall unit style.
