To Create a Curtain Wall Infill Override

Use this procedure to override the infill of a curtain wall cell.

For example, you might have a row of simple concrete panels in your curtain wall, but want in one location a round window instead of the concrete panel. In that case, it might be simpler to use an infill override, instead of creating complex curtain wall unit definitions.

To exchange an infill definition, the new infill definition must already be defined in the curtain wall style.

1. Select the curtain wall on which you want to override an infill.
2. Click Curtain Wall tab Modify panel Infill drop-down Override Assignment.
3. Select the marker of the cell where you want to create an override, and press Enter.
   

4. Create the override.

   If you want to …	Then …
   exchange the existing infill for another	select a new infill definition from the list.
   remove one or more of the frames around the infill	select the frame component to be removed. You could, for example, override a cell to contain a door infill instead of a panel infill; in this case, you would want to remove the bottom frame of the cell.
   remove the complete infill and its frame	select Remove Infill and Frames. Note: This works only for infills that border the exterior of the curtain wall.

5. Click OK.
6. 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	select the curtain wall, and click Curtain Wall tab Modify panel Design Rules drop-down Transfer To Object.

7. If you have chosen to save the override to a curtain wall style, 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 Cell Overrides to Style, and click OK. Note: If you have created only an infill override, only the Transfer Cell Overrides to Style checkbox is active. If you have also created other overrides, such as a cell merge or a frame or mullion 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 Cell 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 an infill override, only the Transfer Cell Overrides to Style checkbox is active. If you have also created other overrides, such as a cell merge or a frame or mullion 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.
