[Anonymous]

Is it possible to build a curtain wall with double glass

[Erwin Edel]

Draw two?

Like they did with this one?

I am no curtain wall expert.
But what about creating a custom panel?
Maybe even custom frames if you need them?

May be making a custom panel will work it. But I do not have the option of saving a panel like curtain wall object. Am I right assuming that I can only make a custom panel, saving an previous object like "curtain wall object"?

[Erwin Edel]

Any 3d element can be saved as custom panel, however I do no think it will stretch / behave like the panel objects available.

To be sure, you mean double-skin facade? Because that is what I meant I would draw with two curtain walls.

I can save but then I can't used, bcz It doesn't appear in the custom panel window area. I call the Archicad customer services and still waiting. I think that this issue should be pretty common bcz is how the glazing is built in windows, 2 layers or 3 layers here in Sweden.

[Barry Kelly]

Are you saving it as a 'Curtain wall panel' library part?
It should then be available as a custom panel in the curtain wall settings.
The panel will stretch to suit your scheme sizes.

Right, so you mean insulated glazing (double / triple)?

For a BIM model I would just set the total thickness, give it a U-value etc in properties. Why would you draw multiple glass panes?

Finally I found the place where is located the individual panels.

I am doing this to get a real render as possible.

[Erwin Edel]

Have you tested out just drawing something like 2 walls made of glass with air/gas gap to see if it makes a difference in a render?

Seems like a lot of trouble to go through.
