https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/how-to-create-a-custom-curtain-wall-frame-profile/m-p/133756#M26534 OK, I got it. Here is what to do:<BR /> Right-click the toolbar below the menu bat and bring up the Edit GDL Library Parts toolbar.<BR /> There use the Open Object by Subtype command.<BR /> In the appearing Subtype Hierarchy Dialog, select the Frame subtype you want to modify and Open it for editing.<BR /> Save a copy of it under a new name.<BR /> Edit it to you liking.<BR /> <BR /> As you can see in the attached image, there are several Frame subtypes so you will need to check each to see which one you should start working with.

But it is important to find the axis of the Frames (the change in cursor shape will tell you if you found one).<BR /> This means that you cannot just click anywhere in the Curtain Wall geometry to create a new Frame. It must be from Frame axis to Frame axis.
