When you have finished your onscreen edits, you can decide if you want to
â– Apply the overrides to the curtain wall unit you have edited.
â– Save the overrides to the current curtain wall unit style.
â– Create a new style for the overrides.
Overrides you can set include assigning a different definition to a selected
cell, frame, or mullion, and assigning a profile to a frame or mullion edge.
Note that the definition or profile must already exist in the current drawing
before you can use it as an override.
Overrides do not affect the Design Rules for the curtain wall unit style.
However, you can transfer overrides to a curtain wall unit style if you want
all curtain wall units of that style to have the same overrides.
You can view a list of overrides that are currently assigned to a curtain wall
unit from the Overrides tab of the Curtain Wall Unit Properties dialog box.
For more information, see Removing Curtain Wall Unit Overrides on page
1654.
NOTE Overrides are also listed on the Overrides tab in the Curtain Wall Unit Style
Properties dialog box.
Overriding Curtain Wall Unit Infills
The cell infills of a curtain wall unit are set in the curtain wall unit style. You
can however, create overrides for these infill overrides in cells. For example,
you might want a row of normal rectangular panel infills for a first floor facade.
In one specific position, however, you want a decorative nested grid. In this
case, you would set the row of concrete panels in the curtain wall unit style,
and then override the panel at one specific place with the nested grid.
Curtain wall unit infills can consist of simple panels or nested grids. You can
change one infill for another, merge cells, or remove frames from an infill
altogether.
Turning on Cell Markers for Curtain Wall Units
Use this procedure to turn on the cell markers for each grid cell in a curtain
wall unit. The cell markers must be on in order to select individual cells and
make changes to them.
