NOTE If you do not want to save the override back to a style at all,
click Curtain Wall Unit tab ➤ Modify panel ➤ Design Rules
drop-down ➤ Revert To Style Design Rules. The overrides still remain
on the curtain wall unit, where they can be removed as described in
Removing Curtain Wall Unit Overrides on page 1654, but they are not
saved back to a curtain wall unit style.
Creating a Curtain Wall Unit Frame or Mullion Edge from a
Polyline or Profile
You can assign a profile to any vertical edge of a frame or mullion. The profile
can be any profile or any closed polyline that you specify. You can use a profile
edge to create a unique corner in situations where a simple miter is not
sufficient.
NOTE Adjacent infills are not trimmed or expanded to accommodate the new
edge. To adjust the infill, change the width of the frame edge. For more
information, see Defining a Curtain Wall Unit Frame by Width and Depth on page
1586.
Overriding edge profile
1 Draw a closed polyline in the location where you want it to display
in the curtain wall unit.
NOTE For best results, it is recommended that you draw the polyline
in Plan view.
2 Select the curtain wall unit for which you want to create a frame
or mullion edge profile override.
3 Click Curtain Wall Unit tab ➤ Modify panel ➤ Frame/Mullion
drop-down ➤ Add Profile.
