Tips for Working Efficiently with Curtain Wall Styles
Use these suggestions to work efficiently and productively with curtain wall
styles:
â– 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 which has a horizontal division.
â– 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.
