Defining Divisions for Curtain Wall Grids
The divisions of a grid define the orientation that determines the direction of the grid cells and mullions, and they
define a division type that determines the number and size of cells.
NOTE Creating a nested grid is not a division rule. To create a nested grid, add a cell assignment. For more information, see
“
Creating a Nested Grid in a Curtain Wall
” on page 788
and
“
Working with Nested Grids in Curtain Walls
” on page 786
.
You can create a variety of division definitions under different names, and then assign different divisions to each grid
in your curtain wall. Although you can create multiple definitions, there can be only one division assignment per grid.
You create division definitions for a specific curtain wall style and those definitions can be assigned only to grids in
curtain walls of that style.
For more information about assigning divisions to a particular grid, see “
Assigning a Division to a Curtain Wall Grid
”
on page 785.
Division of Curtain Wall Grids
A curtain wall consists of one or more grids, which are the framework for placing design elements in the curtain wall.
The highest-level grid is the primary grid, which is also the outside edge of the curtain wall.
