In the “Elevation” display representations components should be assigned colors with the display rules of your 2D
Section/Elevation styles in mind. Using colors that are coordinated with those styles can be used to automate linework
properties in section and elevation objects.

Door/Window Assembly Styles

Naming Conventions:

The naming convention for door/window assemblies should reflect as much as possible the infill elements that they
include, any cell adjustment parameters and where appropriate, the general position of infills in the assembly. In
addition, if certain infills have a fixed size, it is helpful to indicate these as well. Different infill types are separated with
a “+” symbol. These are loose guidelines at best; the very flexibility of door/window assembly styles and virtually
unlimited combination of infills and grids makes it impossible to develop a fixed naming convention that will apply
to all conditions:

NOTE Door/Window Assemblies with no shape specified are assumed to be rectangular. In the case of a very complex
door/window assembly, you may choose to omit some of the less prominent infill types and parameters, choosing instead to
include them in a more complete style description.

Example Door/Window Assembly Style Names:

Example Name

Door/Window Assembly Style Description

Windows4-0 Ctr Grow + Transom 2-0 Ctr Arched

An arched assembly with 4’ windows and a two foot tall arched
transoms, centered, with both side cells configured to grow as the
assembly width is changed until the 4’ size can be accommodated

Hinged Double 6-0x6-8 + Side Transom

Hinged double door with variable width sidelights on each side and
a transom.

Hinged Single 3-9x6-8 Right + Sid Transom

A hinged single door on the right side with a single sidelight and a
transom.

Best Practices for Door/Window Assembly Styles:

■

All assembly components should have materials assigned to them.

■

Door/Window Assembly styles should be classified for more control with scheduling and display control. This is
especially important with assemblies that are explicitly intended to be included in a window or door schedule as
a mulled unit.

NOTE In cases where an assembly includes a door or window infill and the assembly is to be included in a door or window
schedule, you can choose not to classify the door or window infill. This will help you to make sure that the infill is not
included in the schedule as a separate item from the assembly of which is a part.

■

The “Model“ display representations of assembly components should follow “By Material” settings.

■

The “Elevation” display representations components should be assigned colors with the display rules of your 2D
Section/Elevation styles in mind. Using colors that are coordinated with those styles can be used to automate linework
properties in section and elevation objects.

■

Naming of assembly components: In order to minimize confusion when editing door/window assembly styles,
you should be descriptive and consistent when naming the components of the style. In general, each name should
end with the type of assembly element it refers to. For example, an infill name might be “Entry Door Infill”. In
particular, care should be taken to name grids and the divisions they are based on. A grid using a division named
“Sidelight Vertical Division” should be named “Sidelight Vertical Grid”

Curtain Walls

Curtain walls comprise two primary AutoCAD Architecture objects: Curtain wall styles and curtain wall unit styles.
Curtain walls can also use door, window and door/window assembly styles as infills.
