Specifying the Display of Curtain Walls
The display of a curtain wall depends on the direction from which you view
the curtain wall. In Plan view, the curtain wall object is displayed as parallel
lines with vertices marking the grid lines, as an architect would typically draw
a curtain wall. In 3D isometric views, the curtain wall object is displayed as it
would appear in the real world, with surfaces showing length, thickness, and
height. You control what you want to display in each particular view.
