Description

Creates a curtain wall, as a block, from the face of a 3D Solid.

Method

Select a face on a solid. A preview of the grid is displayed on the selected face.

Specify the grid's dimensions or the number of panels, specify the width, depth, glass thickness, or the connection type, or press Enter to accept the predefined values.

A BIM Block component (a block reference with BIM properties) of the Curtain Wall BIM entity type is created.

Important: BIM Blocks are compatible with BricsCAD® V26 and later. Drawings with BIM Blocks can be opened with older BricsCAD® versions. However, when inserting BIM Blocks in BricsCAD® V25 or older, they lose their BIM data.
