12 To adjust the size of the profile to fit within the width or depth
dimension of the frame edge, select Auto-Adjust Profile Width or
Depth.
13 To mirror the profile, select X or Y for Mirror In.
14 To rotate the profile, specify an angle for Rotation.
15 Specify any offsets.

After you create a frame definition, you can assign it to any frame in a curtain
wall unit. For more information, see Assigning Definitions to Curtain Wall
Unit Frames on page 1607.
Specifying Offsets for a Curtain Wall Unit Frame
Use this procedure to define the distance that a curtain wall unit frame is from
the floor line, roof line, or baseline. By default, the outside edges of the frame
align with start and end of the floor line and the start and end of the roof
line. When you adjust the width of the frame, the frame expands inward.
However, you can use offsets to expand or contract the frame away from these
default limits or to shift the frame away from the baseline in either the X or
Y direction.
DescriptionOffset
Positive X offset moves the frame edge
outward beyond the end of the curtain wall
X
unit, while a negative X offset moves the
frame edge inward toward the center of
the curtain wall unit.
In Plan view, a positive Y offset moves the
frame edge above the baseline, while a
Y
negative Y offset moves the frame below
the baseline.
Negative Start offset lengthens the frame
beyond the start point, while a positive
Start
Start offset shortens the frame. The start
point for vertical edges is the baseline and,
