To Specify Which Curtain Wall Cells Use a Cell Assignment

When you create a cell assignment you need to specify the cells in the grid to use that assignment. There are two options for selecting cells:

Tip: When you are trying to determine cell assignments in a grid that has both vertical and horizontal cells it is helpful to remember that each of these directions is actually in a separate grid. You can have a vertical grid with a nested horizontal grid, or the other way around. Select each grid separately to make cell assignments.

Any cells that are not assigned a specific cell assignment use the default infill.

    Location click the Used In column, and click the button at the far right of the row. Select the cells you want to use this assignment, and click OK.
    Index enter the cell numbers separated by commas in the Used In column. For vertical grids, cells are numbered from start to end and for horizontal grids, cells are numbered from bottom to top.
