(1)I have been trying to archive culvature in the curtain wall panels as opposed to faceted, but to no success. Anyone with a solution please?
(2) Curtain walls seem to slow down the computer while working in floorplan mode almost as bad as adding a lot of landscape 3d models, is there any way to avoid this?
(3) How can I use double glazzing?
(4) How can I apply different finishing material for exterior and interior on solid panels?
(5) Is there a possibility to use composite structures as in the real world so it shows correct on sections? (AC12, WINXP SP2, INTEL CORE 2, 3.2GHZ, 2G RAM)
Regards,
Alickn

A current feature?/limitation? of the Curtain Wall Tool is that all panels are planar - no curved panels possible with the Tool.

Defining your own custom panel.
Make it with a simple Slab, and apply the materials you need on the upper/lower surface. Select the slab and save it (File/Library and Objects/Save custom component) as Custom CW Panel.
(3) How can I use double glazzing?
Maybe with a similar procedure

Hi laszlonagy & Rocorona,
Thanks for the reply. I will try
the custom panel. And thanks for
showing me that I have to save the custom
objects as cw_panel format. This opens the possibility
to harness curtain walls for continuous railings.
Kind Regards,
Alick.

If I delete the wall curtain, the program again is working fine.
Any idea of what is happening here? Thank you!!
