Hi Gentlemen

Does anyone knows how to use this option (see the image) on the curtain walls?
-how to create the profile, how to save it where to save it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

There is nothing in AC documentation about it. It is rather easy to made some custom elements but if You need some more info You find nothing.
Maybe in next GDL Handbook release...

Thanks for nice words 🙂
Accidentally I wrote years ago a book for ArchiCAD 8.1/9 but without any comics in it...
... but I think that reading it in polish could be also very funny for You.

Regarding custom elements for CW - problem appears with 2D symbols. I am looking for any good explanation how to prepare it (with minimum effort). The worst-case is go through Curtain Walls GDL scripts from standard library objects.

Hi Guys
As a follow on to the very nice illustration above, you can download this guide (no catches, honest 😉 ) from here that is a little wordier and shows the 'next step' in terms of profile development. Pretty much the last 6 pages are untested by a lot of people at this stage but it works for me!

Its about 6mb btw.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I had a play with custom frames for curtain walls but failed miserably, so hopefully this will help!
