Louvers in curtain wall

Anonymous

Hi
Any idea how I can make 2 panels in my curtain wall unit with louvers.
Should I be using the curtain wall here in the first place?

You might just try using the Vent Window 12.
If curtain wall or storefront you can make a custom panel.

Are these just louvers or louvers over glass? If the latter try windows with shutter closed.

Try using the Modular Joinery object - all ArchiCAD users on subscription in the UK should all have received it, so you probably have it to hand.

You can make any arrangement of windows, doors, panels, louvres, etc. A quick example along the lines of what you requested is attached.

Wow - actually I got my copy of archicad in Miami because I am doing some work overseas at the moment. Is the modular joinery object downloadable somewhere?

No, it's only available through an ArchiCAD reseller/distributor. I would ask the company you purchased the software from. All UK subscribers get the object automatically (also the Doc M library).
