Changing the Curtain Wall Location Properties
Use this procedure to relocate a curtain wall by changing the coordinate values
of its insertion point. The curtain wall also has an orientation with respect to
the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the curtain
wall are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can
change the orientation of the curtain wall by aligning its normal with another
axis. You can also rotate the curtain wall on its plane by changing the rotation
angle.
For information about the world coordinate system (WCS) and the user
coordinate system (UCS), see “Use Coordinates and Coordinate Systems” in
AutoCAD Help.
