To Specify an Offset for a Curtain Wall Infill

Use this procedure to specify an offset for a curtain wall infill. By default, infills are centered on the curtain wall baseline. If your design requires that the infill be aligned with frame edges or some other part of the curtain wall, you can specify an offset for the infill.

You can also edit individual style-based infills directly in the drawing. The selected infill has Flip grips in both the X and Y directions so that you can change the orientation of the infill.

  2. Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Curtain Wall Styles.

  4. Click the Design Rules tab.
  5. In the left pane, select Infills under Element Definitions.
  6. Select an infill, or create a new one.

    In Plan view, positive numbers offset the infill above the baseline and negative numbers offset the infill below the baseline. The offset is also affected by the selected alignment for the infill.
