Assigning Definitions to Curtain Wall Frames
The curtain wall frame is represented by the outer edges of the primary grid.
Each nested grid has its own frame that is defined separately from the primary
grid frame. By default, the frames of nested grids are turned off. For more
information about nested grids, see Working with Nested Grids in Curtain
Walls on page 1464.
Frame Assignments
A frame assignment defines the frame definition that is used by each frame
edge. You can use one frame assignment to assign the same definition to all
four edges of the frame, or you can create multiple frame assignments to assign
different definitions to different edges of the frame. Unassigned edges are not
displayed.
Do not assign multiple definitions to the frame edge because only the last
definition assigned to the edge is used.
Default Frame Assignment
There is a default frame assignment and you can select the frame edges it
applies to. You can modify the default assignment to use any frame definition,
but you cannot delete the default frame assignment.
Materials and Display Properties of Frames
The layer, color, linetype, and other display properties of the default frame
are applied to all frame edges unless you assign materials to the frame
definition or you create a custom display component for each definition. You
can then control the display of each frame definition independently. For more
information, see Specifying the Display of Curtain Walls on page 1484.
Adding a New Frame Assignment to a Curtain Wall
Use this procedure to add a frame assignment to a curtain wall. To assign
different definitions to different frame edges, you need multiple frame
assignments.
