To Create a Curtain Wall Unit Frame or Mullion Edge From a Polyline or Profile

You can assign a profile to any vertical edge of a frame or mullion. The profile can be any profile or any closed polyline that you specify. You can use a profile edge to create a unique corner in situations where a simple miter is not sufficient.
