To Create a Division Override

Use this procedure to create a division override on a curtain wall.

Note: To exchange a curtain wall division, the new division definition must already be defined in the curtain wall style.
  1. Select the curtain wall for which you want to create a division override.
  2. Click Curtain Wall tab Modify panel Division drop-down Override Assignment.
  3. Select an edge of the curtain wall to determine if a horizontal or vertical division is overridden.

    For example, if you want to override the primary horizontal division, you could select the bottom horizontal frame of the curtain wall.

    Tip: The Division Assignment Override dialog box shows you which grid type and which grid division you have selected, e.g. Selected Nested Grid: Secondary Grid, Division Element Definition: Vertical 3 Cells. If you have accidentally selected the wrong division, click Cancel and reselect the correct grid.
  4. Select the appropriate division override, and click OK.
  5. Specify where you want to save the curtain wall override:
    If you want to save the override … Then …
    only on this specific curtain wall no further steps are necessary. The override is saved to the curtain wall.
    to a curtain wall style click Curtain Wall tab Modify panel Design Rules drop-down Transfer To Object.
  6. If you have chosen to save the override to a curtain wall style, select the curtain wall again, and click Curtain Wall tab Modify panel Design Rules drop-down Save To Style. Then, decide to which curtain wall style you want to save the override.
    If you want to save the override … Then …
    to the current curtain wall style select Transfer Division Overrides to Style, and click OK.
    Note: If you have created only a profile edge override, only the Transfer Division Overrides to Style checkbox is active. If you have also created other overrides, such as a cell merge or a edge override, these checkboxes are available as well. If you also want to save these overrides to the style, select their checkboxes, too.
    to a new curtain wall style select Transfer Division Overrides to Style, and click New. Then, enter a name for the new curtain wall style, and click OK.
    Note: If you have created only a profile edge override, only the Transfer Division Overrides to Style checkbox is active. If you have also created other overrides, such as a cell merge or a edge override, these checkboxes are available as well. If you also want to save these overrides to the style, select their checkboxes, too.
    Note: If you do not want to save the override back to a style at all, click Curtain Wall tab Modify panel Design Rules drop-down Revert To Style Design Rules . The overrides remain on the curtain wall, where they can be removed, but they are not saved back to a curtain wall style.
