NOTE Nested grids and no infill are options you select when assigning an infill to
cell. These options do not require infill definitions. For information, see Creating
a Nested Grid in a Curtain Wall Unit on page 1599 and Removing an Infill Definition
from a Curtain Wall Unit Style on page 1584.
You can define as many infills as you need, and then use cell assignments to
specify the cells that use each infill. You can modify, a default infill that is
used for all unassigned cells.
NOTE Create infill definitions for a specific curtain wall unit style. Those definitions
can be assigned only to grid cells in curtain wall units of that style.
Materials
Styles use the materials of the object style assigned to each panel. For example,
if you specify an infill to use the Standard door/window assembly style, the
materials of that infill are those designated in the door/window assembly
style. Simple panels need material assigned in the curtain wall style.
If you do not use materials to control the display properties of infills, you can
specify their display properties in the curtain wall unit style. The layer, color,
linetype, and other display properties of the default infill are applied to all
infills unless you create a custom display component for each infill definition.
You can then control the display of each infill definition independently. For
more information, see Specifying the Display of Curtain Wall Units on page
1617.
Creating a Panel Infill for a Curtain Wall Unit
Use this procedure to create a simple panel infill to represent basic cladding
materials in the curtain wall, such as a stone wall panel, concrete panel, metal
panel, or glazing infill.
Because curtain wall units can contain multiple infills, it is helpful to use a
naming convention for panel infills that indicates the infill location or purpose
within the curtain wall unit. For example, L3-FL1- Stone Panel can identify a
stone panel in a third-level grid on Floor 1.
