that is used for all unassigned cells. For more information about cell
assignments, see Assigning Definitions to Curtain Wall Elements on page 1461.
NOTE Create infill definitions for a specific curtain wall style. Those definitions
can be assigned only to grid cells in curtain walls of that style.
Materials
Styles use the materials of the object style assigned to each panel. For example,
if you specify an infill to use the Standard door style, the materials of that
infill are those designated in the door style. Simple Panels need material
assigned in the curtain wall style.
If you do not use materials to control the display properties of infills, you can
specify their display properties in the curtain wall style. The layer, color,
linetype, and other display properties of the default infill are applied to all
infills unless you create a custom display component for each infill definition.
You can then control the display of each infill definition independently. For
more information, see Specifying the Display of Curtain Walls on page 1484.
Creating a Panel Infill for a Curtain Wall
Use this procedure to create a simple panel infill to represent basic cladding
materials in the curtain wall, such as a stone wall panel, concrete panel, metal
panel, or glazing infill.
Because curtain walls can contain multiple infills, it is helpful to use a naming
convention for panel infills that indicates the infill location or purpose within
the curtain wall. For example, L3-FL1- Stone Panel can identify a stone panel
in a third-level grid on Floor 1.
