Specifying the Display of Curtain Wall Units
The display of a curtain wall unit depends on the direction from which you
view the curtain wall unit. In Plan view, the curtain wall unit is displayed as
parallel lines with vertices marking the grid lines, as an architect would
typically draw a curtain wall unit. In 3D isometric views, the curtain wall unit
is displayed as it would appear in the real world, with surfaces showing length,
thickness, and height. You control what you want to display in each particular
view.
Element Definitions and Custom Display Components
By default, the display of all infills, frames, and mullions are controlled by
the display properties of the default infill, default frame, and default mullions.
However, you can add individual element definitions as components with
separate display properties. For example, if you define two infills called stone
panel and acetylene panel, by default they are both controlled by the same
default infill display properties. However, you can add each definition as a
new display component and control the display properties separately.
