In-Place Editing of Edge Profiles for Curtain Walls
Use this procedure to edit profile edges using in-place editing. With in-place
editing, you can edit the curtain wall directly and interactively in the drawing
area and later save the changes to the profile definition.
1 Select a curtain wall that has the edge profile you want to edit
with in-place editing.
2 Click Curtain Wall tab ➤ Modify panel ➤ Frame/Mullion
drop-down ➤ Edit Profile.
This command is only available if you have profile-based edges
in the curtain wall.
NOTE If the profile is not drawn to size, it must be converted in order
for you to begin the in-place editing session. Click Yes if prompted
to convert the profile to its actual size.
3 Select the edge you want to edit.
NOTE You have entered the in-place editing session now. You can
see this from the magenta-colored grips and light blue hatch of the
temporary in-place editing profile, as well as the faded color of all
other objects in the drawing. Note that while you are in the in-place
editing session, you have only limited editing access to other
commands in the drawing. Before working on other objects, you
should first end the in-place editing session.

which offsets the selected edge in
a direction that is perpendicular to
the midpoint of the edge. Depend-
ing on the shape of the profile and
the edge you choose to modify,
neighboring lines are extended or
trimmed, and new lines are added,
as necessary.
