INTRODUCTION

Door/window assemblies and curtain walls allow you to create a unit with multiple window, door and panel components. The door/window assembly and curtain walls are created based upon a grid. The grid allows you to divide the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the unit into a number of equal divisions or manually specify grid locations.

OBJECTIVES

After completing this chapter, you will be able to

• Insert door/window assemblies using the DoorWinAssemblyAdd command and curtain walls using the CurtainWallAdd command.

• Edit the properties of the door/window assembly and curtain wall.

• Create and edit divisions, infills, frames and mullions.

• Define fixed cell dimension, fixed number of cells and manual location of grid.

• Assign door and window styles as infills.

• Add or modify the profile used for frame and mullion components.

• Apply interference to a door/window assembly to trim the AEC object.

ADDING DOOR/WINDOW ASSEMBLIES

The style of a door/window assembly defines the content of the grid, which includes the divisions, frames, cell infills and mullions. There are over 100 door/window assembly styles included in the Door and Window Assemblies category of the Design Tool Catalog - Imperial [Design Tool Catalog - Metric] shown in Figure 6.1. Included are styles with arched, peaked and trapezoid shapes that can include transoms and skylights.
