Door in Curtain Wall

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:53:03 GMT

Goodmorning AC users!
I've been exprerimenting with curtain walls and doors.
I try to create a door and I cannot figure out how to properly delete the bottom horizontal divider (?) and have the dividers next to it extend to the door.
The attachment will probably help you understand more than my description.
Cheers

Edit the "priority" setting of other the verticals or the bottom rails to be higher than the other.

Thank you for the reply.
I changed the priorities but I still cannot get clean corner.
Also I can't change the height of that particular panel in order to have my door at the same level as the rest of the bottom dividers

• Select the Invisible one and reduce its thickness
• Select the verticals (instead of the horizontals) and increase their priority

I must be doing something wrong.
I changed the only option I can change to the invisible bottom horizontal piece (mulion?) set the priorities accordingly,but not luck.
I still get an elevated door (5cm)

• select the invisible one and change thickness to "0"
• Its priority and the other boundary frames should be 15
• Set priority for the verticals to 17

Hmmm....I notice that in your screenshot the line that represents the invisible is at the bottom edge and on mine its on the middle of the horrizontal element. Hence the 5cm.
Is there an option about the orientation of maybe a threshold?I tried your settings and the door is still elevated

I am using 18 just in case.
Try creating a new curtain wall and see if it works with that one. Might be that the current one might have gone wonky while changing settings.

Tried both new curtain wall and AC18.
No luck.
Is there an option, that I don't see, that lets you change the height of a particular panel (my door) ?

With Eduardo's help,
I managed to get the dividers on the same lvl, I had to change the
"Boundary Frame position" from center to inside grid.Again,thnx alot Eduardo.
But now I am stuck with the door elevation....5cm!

Door elevation is because of the thickness of the "invisible frame" change it to 0 and it should go down.

No need to make the frame invisible.
Just make sure the frame height/width is zero and the and the panel slot is also zero.
