When you have finished your onscreen edits, you have three choices:
â– apply the overrides to the curtain wall you have edited.
â– save the overrides to the current curtain wall style.
â– create a new style for the overrides.
Overrides you can set include assigning a different definition to a selected
cell, frame, or mullion, and assigning a profile to a frame or mullion edge.
Note that the definition or profile must already exist in the current drawing
before you can use it as an override. For example, if you want to override a
cell that has a simple panel infill with an octagonal window infill, you must
first define the window (octagonal) style as a valid infill in the curtain wall
style. Similarly, if you want to override a frame or mullion edge assignment
in the curtain wall, the curtain wall style must contain the edge profile as a
frame or mullion definition.
NOTE You cannot modify a definition using the Override method. For information
about modifying definitions, see Modifying Element Definitions for Curtain Wall
Styles on page 1520.
Overrides do not affect the Design Rules for the curtain wall style. However,
you can transfer overrides to a curtain wall style if you want all curtain walls
of that style to have the same overrides.
You can view a list of overrides that are currently assigned to a curtain wall
from the Overrides tab of the Curtain Wall Properties dialog box. For more
information, see Removing Curtain Wall Overrides on page 1520.
NOTE Overrides are also listed on the Overrides tab in the Curtain Wall Style
Properties dialog box.
Overriding Curtain Wall Infills
The cell infills of a curtain wall are set in the curtain wall style. You can,
however, create overrides for these infills in cells. For example, you might
want a row of glider windows for a first floor facade. In one specific position,
however, you want a frosted glass window. In this case, you would set the row
of glider windows in the curtain wall style, and then override the infill style
in one specific cell with a frosted glass window.
Curtain wall infills can consist of simple panels, objects like windows or doors,
or nested grids. You can change one infill for another, merge cells, or remove
