Curtain Walls

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

Does anybody know a way to create a curtain wall system for a multi story building? Can you also create mullions at floor level, and in segments vertically in archicad?

Or can you please point me to someone elses answer to this question?

Before Djordje asks, add your system specs/AC version to you signature.
You will get answers, instead of ?????

There is a Curtain Walling window and there is a Curtain Walling object in ArchiCAD 10. We tend to draw curtain walls so they span from floor to floor. Editing them is easier that way, rather than trying to do an entire elevation in one go.

The other option to have a look at is Archiglazing add on available from your ArchiCAD reseller. Archiglazing is good for large repetitive curtainwalling but doesn't cope well with "custom" shaped facades.

And here's a taste of some of what ArchiGlazing can do....
