To Define Door and Window Assembly Mullions by Width and Depth

Use this procedure to define mullions by specifying a width and a depth.

Because door/window assemblies can contain multiple nested grids with different mullions, it is helpful to use a naming convention for grid mullions that indicates the grid location or purpose within the door/window assembly. For example, L3-FL1- Window Mullion identifies a mullion for a window in a third-level grid on Floor 1.

Specifying Door/Window Assembly mullion width and depth

Tip: To remove mullions for butt glazing, create a definition with both width and depth set to zero. Then assign that definition to the mullions that you want to remove.
  1. Click Manage tabStyle & Display panelStyle Manager.
  2. Expand Architectural Objects Door/Window Assembly Styles.
    Note: Alternatively, select a door/window assembly in the drawing, and click Door/Window Assembly tab General panel Edit Style drop-down Door/Window Assembly Styles.
  3. Select a door/window assembly style.

  7. Enter a descriptive name for the mullion definition.
  8. Specify a width and depth for the mullion definition.

After you create a mullion definition, you can assign it to any mullion in a door/window assembly.
