Doors in Curtain Walls?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:27:50 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I've browsed the forums for the answer but I'm not sure i'm found a definitive yes or no.
Is there a way ton insert a door into a curtain wall?
Thanks for your time,
Rich

In the 3D CW editing window select the Panel you want to be a door and change the TYPE of panel to the appropriate door.

Thanks Erica,
The annoying thing about that is your doors are restrained to the panel size rather than generating new smaller infill panels around a normal size door, is there a way around this and i'm using panels 900mm high by 2500mm long?
Thanks as ever
Rich

place some more frames to create smaller panels within your bigger panel, then change the one you want into a door... the door would have frames around it in real life, wouldn't it?

To continue xristina's suggestion:
Those extra Frames you insert can be invisible Frames so you will not get big wide double Frames around your Door when you insert it and it has its own Frame, plus the Frame of the Curtain Wall.
