Creating a Profile for Curtain Wall Mullions
Use this procedure to create a profile that you can use to define the shape of
a curtain wall mullion definition. You can then extrude the profile to create
mullions from it.
The height and the width of the polyline you use to create the profile define
the default height and width of the curtain wall mullion. The insertion point
of the profile is aligned with the centroid of the mullion.
1 Draw a closed polyline of the height and the depth needed for
the resulting curtain wall mullion.
2 Select the polyline, right-click, and click Convert to ➤ Profile
Definition.
3 Enter c (Centroid) for the insertion point of the profile.
The insertion point of the profile is aligned with the centroid of
the mullion.
4 Enter a name for the profile, and click OK.
You can now use the profile as a curtain wall mullion. For more
information, see Defining the Mullions of a Curtain Wall Using
a Profile on page 1457.
Defining the Mullions of a Curtain Wall Using a Profile
Use this procedure to create a mullion element definition from a profile. If
you do not want a straight edge to your mullions, you can use a profile to
define mullions with curves, jags, or any other shape.
You can also use an edit in-place routine to create a mullion from a profile.
For more information, see Creating a Frame or Mullion Edge from a Polyline
or Profile Using In-Place Editing on page 1506.
NOTE The insertion point of the profile is aligned with the centroid of the mullion.
