Modifying Curtain Walls - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Modifying Curtain Walls

You can modify the appearance of curtain walls through their properties. Curtain wall properties are modifiable
before or after you sketch the walls.
In order to specify curtain wall properties, access the Element Properties dialog in one of several ways:
Click Modify, select the wall, and click
Click Wall, select a curtain wall type, and click
See Element Properties Dialog
Changing Curtain Wall Panel Type
You can change the panel type applied to a curtain wall by selecting an individual panel and then selecting
a different type from the Type Selector. If there are not enough wall types loaded, load more families using
the Load Family command. For more information, see
Changing Mullion Material
1 In the drawing area, select a mullion.
2 In the Type Selector, select the mullion type, and click
3 In the Element Properties dialog, click Edit/New.
4 Select a mullion material.
You can create a new mullion material if one does not exist. See
5 Click OK twice.
NOTE Changing the material for a mullion family type changes the material for all mullions of that
type. If the material changes affect the mullions on only one curtain wall, create and apply a new
mullion family type.
Shortcut Menu
You can modify a curtain wall by selecting the wall and right-clicking to access a shortcut menu. On the
shortcut menu are several choices for manipulating the curtain wall, such as selecting panels, mullions, and
grids.
Cleaning Curtain Wall Joins
By default, curtain walls attach to the face of adjoining walls. Use the shape handle to separate a curtain
wall join from other curtain walls or exterior and interior walls. This allows more control over curtain wall
joins and mullion placement to ensure proper design intent.
