Excluding Gables and Steps from a Curtain Wall Grid
If you are designing a curtain wall that has gables in the roof line or steps in the floor line, there may be occasions
when you do not want the grid to extend into those areas. To define your curtain wall in this case, you can define a
single-cell horizontal grid that excludes those areas, and then use that grid as a starting point for nested grids. For
information about nested grids, see “
Working with Nested Grids in Curtain Walls
” on page 786.
NOTE For information about adding steps or gables to your curtain wall, see
“
Changing the Roof Line and the Floor Line
of a Curtain Wall
” on page 829
