Custom frame profile with Curtain Walls

[Achille Pavlidis]

Hi,

I have created a custom frame profile and saved it as a library part.

Although when I select it on the Curtain wall settings it appears correctly, then when it is placed it has nothing to do.

See attached images. Why is this happening?

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 13 Ventura

For a curtain wall, you can save a panel as a library element but not a profile ; profiles are based on complex profiles and not library elements. I think you have a complex profile with the same name as the library element displayed as a square by default.

Open this complex profile or create a new one and paste the profile into it.

Normally it will then be displayed correctly.

Bringing this back as it seems that it doesn't seem to work.

I have tried multiple file names and the problem is always the same... the Custom Frame appears correctly in 3D window but it appears only as a square in floor plan...

is there any way to fix this?

Check your modelviewoptions.  Curtainwall settings can be simplified in MVO

I checked.

I have full view options

Have you set the 3d detaillevel of the frames to MVO or full?

tried both,

same result

it is OK in 3D but a square on floor plan

I am out of options 🙂 If you dm me with (a part) of the file, i can have a look.

I have a feeling that you have to enter object's gdl and draw the 2d that you want....

I saw it somewhere and i have to search it.......

I am using a curtain wall in AC27 with complex profiles and detailled 2d view without gdl...
