Specifying a Miter Angle for a Curtain Wall Unit Adjacent to Another Object
Use this procedure to manually create a mitered corner between a curtain wall unit and another object, such as a
standard wall or a mass element. For example, if your curtain wall unit connects with a standard wall that is at 60-degree
angle from the curtain wall unit, you would specify the miter angle as 30.
The miter angle applies to all infills and horizontal edges that are adjacent to the corner. Vertical edges are not affected.
TIP To quickly identify the start and end of a curtain wall unit, select the curtain wall unit. The Reverse Direction grip points
toward the end of the curtain wall unit.
