5 Add curtain grids and mullions, as desired.

Curtain Grid Snapping

When you place curtain grids, they snap to evenly spaced intervals on the curtain wall. For example, as you
drag the cursor over a panel, it snaps to the midpoint or to the 1/3 mark of the panel.
When you place curtain grids on walls, sloped glazings, and curtain systems, the curtain grids snap to visible
levels, grids, and reference planes. In addition, curtain grids snap to other curtain grids when you select a
common corner edge. For example, if you place the cursor on a joined edge between 2 curtain walls, the
new curtain grid snaps to an existing curtain grid.

Selectively Placing Curtain Grids

As you place curtain grids on curtain panels, a preview image of the grid is displayed on the panels. You can
control the location of the preview and thus the location of the curtain grid using one of the options for
the grid segments:
All Segments: places grid segments on all panels where the preview appears.
One Segment: places one grid segment on one panel where the preview appears.
All Except Picked: places a grid segment on all panels except those you select to exclude.
