When you specify a fixed cell size in a grid, you can control how the cells of the grid adjust to accommodate any leftover
space. This space occurs if the length (or the height) of the door/window assembly cannot be evenly divided by the
fixed size of the cell. For more information, see
1 On the Format menu, click Style Manager.
2 Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Door/Window Assembly Styles.
3 Select a door/window assembly style.
4 Click the Design Rules tab.
5 In the left pane, select Divisions under Element Definitions.
6 Select a Division definition or create a new one.
7 Select Fixed Cell Dimension for Division Type.
8 Specify a size for the cells in Cell Dimension.
If you are defining a vertical grid, the cell dimension is the length of the cell from mullion to mullion. If
you are defining a horizontal grid, the cell dimension is the height of the cell.
9 To specify an offset for the grid, specify an offset distance in Bottom Offset or Top Offset.
TIP The frame width is calculated as part of the cell size. Therefore, cells adjacent to the frame can appear to
be a different size than the other cells. If you do not want the frame width included in the cell size, specify an
offset for the grid that is equal to the frame width.
When you draw a door/window assembly using a fixed cell dimension, there is often extra space between
the last full-size cell and the end of the door/window assembly.
For more information about grid offsets, see
on page 922.
10 Adjust the cells to accommodate this extra space:
If you want to
add the space to grid cells

11 Click OK.
