Best Practices for Curtain Wall Styles:
■ All curtain wall components should have materials assigned to them.
■ The “Model display representations of curtain wall components should
follow “By Material” settings.
■ The “Elevation” display representations components should be assigned
colors with the display rules of your 2D Section/Elevation styles in mind.
Using colors that are coordinated with those styles can be used to automate
linework properties in section and elevation objects.
■ Naming of curtain wall components: In order to minimize confusion when
editing curtain wall styles, you should be descriptive and consistent when
naming the components of the style. In general, each name should end
with the type of curtain wall element it refers to. For example, an infill
name might be “Stone Panel Infill.” In particular, care should be taken to
name grids and the divisions they are based on. A grid using a division
named “First Floor Vertical Division” should be named “First Floor Vertical
Grid.”
