To Change the Curtain Wall Location Properties

Use this procedure to relocate a curtain wall by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The curtain wall also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the curtain wall are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the curtain wall by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the curtain wall on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

  1. Double-click the curtain wall you want to change.
  2. Expand Location.
  3. Click Additional information.
  4. Specify the location of the curtain wall:
    If you want to … Then …
    relocate the curtain wall enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
    locate the curtain wall on the XY plane make the normal of the wall parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
    locate the curtain wall on the YZ plane make the normal of the curtain wall parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z.
    locate the curtain wall on the XZ plane make the normal of the curtain wall parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter0 for X and Z.
    change the rotation of the curtain wall enter a new value for Rotation Angle.
  5. Click OK.
