CURTAIN WALLS-USING CUSTOM MULLIONS

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 09:10:25 GMT

Hi All,

I have been trying to explore curtain walls so that I can use custom mullions and transoms to quickly draw balustrades and railings efficiently. as a work around. However, I am unable to bring these custom gdl objects to show in the curtain wall edit environment. Is there a way out or we are stuck with the default settings whose manipulation is only limited to changing sizes and turning objects on or off.

Kind Regards,

Alick.

This was discussed at:
how to create a custom curtain wall frame profile
You can search the forum for more threads, try "curtain AND wall AND custom" for the search.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Hi David Maudlin,

Thanks for your reply. I had a look at the thread you are refereing to. Unfortunately the author does not address the problem in a manner that beginners who have no knowledge of gdl scripting would understand. All I am looking for is a possibility to draw mullions and transoms as custom gdl objects. This can open up a huge range of possibilities in using curtain wall tools to actually draw repeattive objects along a path as easy as drawing a polyline like other softwares do.

Kind Regards,

Alick.
