I'm not sure I understand... but see if you get any ideas from one of these two older threads about invisible frames and butt-glazing (which has nothing to do with a body part, but is a colloquial term for the glass panels abutting each other):

xwantheaven:

To get the glass on top of the frame, make the frame depth and glass setback equal.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
