Assigning Infills to Curtain Wall Cells

An infill defines the contents of a curtain wall cell. A curtain wall cell can have the default simple panel or contain a
nested grid, an AEC Polygon, curtain wall unit, door, window, or door/window assembly style. The object styles you
use in infills must exist in the current drawing to be added to an infill definition. Panels typically represent glazing or
other plain cladding, such as stone or concrete. For more information, see
page 773.
Cell Assignments
A cell assignment defines the infill definition used for the cells. You can use one cell assignment to assign the same
infill to all cells, or you can create multiple cell assignments to assign different infills to different cells.
Cell assignments
Do not assign multiple definitions to the same cell because only the last assigned definition to the cell is used.
Default Cell Assignment
The default cell assignment is used by all unassigned cells. You can modify the default assignment to be any type of
infill, but you cannot delete the default cell assignment.
You may want to modify the default cell assignment to use the infill definition that occurs most frequently in your
design. Any cells not assigned to other infills then use this infill definition.
Materials and Display Properties of Infills
The layer, color, linetype, and other display properties of the default infill are applied to all infills unless you assign
materials to the infills you created or you create a custom display component for each definition. You can then control
the display of each infill definition independently. For more information, see
on page 799.
Working with Nested Grids in Curtain Walls
Each curtain wall grid is one-dimensional with either a horizontal or vertical division. By nesting grids in the curtain
wall style, you can create a variety of patterns from simple to complex.
