As the next step, you will assign the division definition to a grid in a curtain
wall style. For more information, see Assigning a Division to a Curtain Wall
Grid on page 1462.
Specifying a Division with a Fixed Cell Number
Use this procedure to define a specific number of cells in a grid. In this case,
the size of the cells is determined by the length or height of the grid, depending
on how the grid is divided.
In some cases, when you create a complex curtain wall grid, you might want
to start with a standard grid with a fixed number of cells, and then later
fine-tune that manually. You can first create a grid with fixed cell numbers
and then convert that to a manual grid. For information on manual grids, see
Specifying a Division with Manually Defined Cells on page 1435.
