 |
|
The model I am building is using glazed curtain walling (100%), what is the best method for putting these blocks into the software.
Any help appreciated.

Stephen,
There are various ways to acheive 100% glazing. The usual way is to use the "100% fitted" facade layout type on the Openings tab under External glazing. Also use a small block thickness to avoid non-glazed corners as described at:

If different parts of the glazing have different constructions then they should be drawn as separate windows and the different properties defined at window level.

Hi,
thanks Andy for your answer. So, the unique solution is to draw each window separately in each surface? you can't do anything at block level?
Can't you set the position of the dividers on a window or just the number of them?
Thanks! |
