I am currently working on a studio design project for University (6th year).
I've only started using ArchiCAD (14) recently, and until now I have created 'generic' windows etc. within my building.
In my latest project however, I am attempting to create a glass exterior shell/skin around a building frame/structure. I have attempted to create a curtain wall to go around my building structure, but this creates a lot of thick framework around my glazing. Is it possible to create a 'lighter' glass box/shell around my building without such thick mullions etc? And how can I set these glass pane separators back a little, so they are not so obvious when looking at the building from the outside?
Attached is an image of a default CW in 3D after clicking the Edit 'button' in the 3D window, selecting the Frame tool and doing a cmd-A (ctrl-A Windows) to select all frame elements. I reduced the sizes of all elements in the Info Box.
Back in the CW Settings you can set offsets/etc.

Note that in the 3D edit mode, you can turn off the visibility of other CW components. Here, I've made everything except frames invisible. Sometimes this makes it easier to select pieces of the frame that should be different, moved, or deleted.
Cheers,
