Step 6:
Specify the materials of the door/window assembly style.
For information on specifying materials, see “
Specifying the Materials of a Door and Window Assembly Style
”
on page 948.
Step 7:
Specify the display properties of the door/window assembly, including layer, color, linetype, and hatching.
For information on specifying the display properties of a door/window assembly, see “
Specifying the Display
of Door and Window Assemblies
” on page 950.
Step 8:
Attach notes and reference documents to the door/window assembly style.

Tips for Working Efficiently with Door and Window Assembly Styles
Use these suggestions to work with door/window assembly styles efficiently and productively.
■
Name grids and elements very clearly to identify where they are used and what they are. For example, use the
name L3-FL1-H to represent a third-level grid used on the first floor and that is horizontally divided. Incorporating
this suggestion makes it easier to ensure that you are using elements correctly.
■
Use the element definition that is applied most often as the default element definition. For example, if most cells
are stone panels, define the default infill as the stone panel. This panel is then used in every cell that is not
specifically assigned to another infill. Apply this rule to the default frame, mullion, and division.
■
Name the styles for doors, windows, curtain wall units, AEC Polygons, and curtain walls to indicate where they
are used and what they are.
■
Remember that you can use cell and edge overrides to define special conditions not accounted for in the door/window
assembly style.
Creating Element Definitions for a Door and Window Assembly Style
Element definitions determine the appearance of the four basic door/window assembly elements. There is a different
definition type for each element.
Sample definitions
Definition
Horizontal grid with six cells
Divisions
Cells contain windows
Cell Infills
Outer edge of grid is 6" wide
