Positioning Curtain Wall in Section

Use this workflow in a Section-type window when extruding a Curtain Wall from a Reference Line.

The input plane in the Section window coincides with the Section Plane.

1. Activate the Curtain Wall tool
2. Choose an input method from the Info Box.
3. Draw the Reference Line as usual.
4. the Place Curtain Wall on Section dialog box appears. Choose an option:

• Freely position the extrusion starting point relative to the input plane. The first field is the absolute length of the extrusion; the third field is its offset from the input plane. (The sum of the two values is shown in the middle field.)

  
  
  

• To extrude the Curtain Wall “away” from you, starting from the input plane (Section line): Choose the second method and enter the length of extrusion. There is no offset (the Curtain Wall begins right at the input plane).

  
  
  

• To extrude the Curtain Wall “toward” you, starting from the input plane (Section line): Choose the fourth method and enter the length of extrusion.

  
  
  

• To place the midpoint of the extrusion vector at the input plane, choose the third option. Enter the total extrusion length in the first field below.
