Changing the Roof Line and the Floor Line of a Curtain
Wall
You can modify the roof and floor lines of a curtain wall to create a
non-rectangular curtain wall:
â–  You edit vertex locations on the roof line to create steps, gables, and other
roof conditions.
Modifying the roof line of a curtain wall
â–  You edit vertex locations on the floor lines to create steps and other floor
conditions.
Modifying the floor line of a curtain wall
You can also create non-rectangular roof and floor conditions by projecting
to polylines.
AutoCAD Architecture offers multiple methods of editing roof lines and floor
lines. You may want to begin by graphically creating a custom roof line or
floor line condition. You can then fine-tune that condition by specifying
precise values in the Roof/Floor Line worksheet on the Properties palette.
