After you define a division, you can assign it to the primary grid or to nested grids. Nested grids are created by selecting
Nested Grid as the cell assignment. For more information, see “
Working with Nested Grids in Curtain Walls
” on page
786.
1
On the Format menu, click Style Manager.
2
Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Curtain Wall Unit Styles.
3
Select a curtain wall unit style.
4
Click the Design Rules tab.
5
In the left pane, select the grid you want to assign a division to. The name of the grid you select is displayed
in the table under the Division Assignment row.
TIP To rename a grid, select it, and click Rename, and enter a new name.
6
Click the Element column for that grid and select a division definition from the list.
7
Click OK.
Assigning Infills to Curtain Wall Unit Cells
An infill defines the contents of a curtain wall unit cell. A curtain wall unit cell can have the default simple panel or
contain a nested grid, an AEC Polygon, door, window, or door/window assembly style. The object styles you use in
infills must exist in the current drawing to be added to an infill definition. Panels typically represent glazing or other
plain cladding, such as stone or concrete. For more information, see “
Defining Infills for Curtain Wall Unit Cells
” on
page 853.
Cell Assignments
A cell assignment defines the infill definition used for the cells. You can use one cell assignment to assign the same
infill to all cells, or you can create multiple cell assignments to assign different infills to different cells.
Cell assignments
Do not assign multiple definitions to the same cell because only the last definition assigned to the cell is used.
Default Cell Assignment
The default cell assignment is used by all unassigned cells. You can modify the default assignment to be any type of
infill, but you cannot delete the default cell assignment.
You may want to modify the default cell assignment to use the infill definition that occurs most frequently in your
design. Any cells not assigned to other infills then use this infill definition.
Materials and Display Properties of Infills
The layer, color, linetype, and other display properties of the default infill are applied to all infills unless you assign
materials to the infills you created or you create a custom display component for each definition. You can then control
the display of each infill definition independently. For more information, see “
Specifying the Display of Curtain Wall
Units
” on page 875.
Creating a Nested Grid in a Curtain Wall Unit
Use this procedure to create a nested grid in a curtain wall unit. A nested grid is a grid within a grid. Each nested grid
has its own division, cell assignments, frame, and mullions. By default, the frame is turned off for nested grids.
