curtain walls in chief?

[yusuf]

Curtain walls in chief or some what the look of smooth commercial windows help?

[David J. Potter]

Done mainly in two locations:

1. Set "Minimum Separation" setting in Window Defaults to zero inches, so you can place window objects directly, one against the other with no separation between

2. The Window Defaults dialog where you alter the frame settings to emulate the window objects you intend to use.

Then put them together.

Thanks david, i have tried this but the floor is intersecting intersecting the window and can not be hided by the windows. I have been trying many window settings to attain it. I was trying to create a symbol to represent it. But not still successfull.
The wandows i wanted r exactly like the picture attached(this pictures r from google search)
Can we get this type by simply adusting the window setting?

Yusuf - search the forum. There are a couple threads and a few videos.

Use a fixed glass window to whatever size you wish. No casing or frame required. Add 2" mullions if aluminum.

I would just stack a windows on a per floor basis (make one window cover the floor structure for the floor above and make the glass opaque), then mull those together and copy them horizontally as many times as needed.

Thanks you all but i have tried it and couldnt, this r the window type
Forgot to attach above, can this be got with the setting?
I was experimenting in creating that windows symbols i think it may be possible using plines solids. I will keep in track with results but i wish the window setting would make it happen or if some one can try it there
Joe plse c the pict that is exactly the windows i want

Yusuf,

I would be taking a different route.
What about not using windows, but instead, just use a wall definition that contains a reflective surface with a tile grid.

Attached is a quick trial I made with a single layer wall with a standard ceramic tile material applied and made reflective.
It would look more realistic with a better tile pattern to suit your situation - I just used a standard tile pattern to see how things went.
It only took about 5 minutes.

I have another idea that comes to mind and would be easier if it works. I'll try it and let you know.

[David J. Potter]

I did this in about five minutes, setting minimum separation to zero, frame width to 1/16, suppress casing, my front wall is less than an inch thick.

My windows are the same as Davids. I put 2 floors. On the second floor, I placed a small invisible wall real close to the exterior wall. If you make the glass opaque with reflection, I think it work work and will do fine in an elevation. Not sure if Davids has 2 floors. Just a thought anyway.

[yusuf]

Thank you very much glen,tommy and david all r great tips i will try it, and i have tried this by creating the symbol using solids. just i have to make it refflective, but in multipple floors the slab is not disturbing the windows now.
Like it all.
tommy, we will be waiting for the tip

[yusuf]

Glen plse refine your method, that would be the easiest if it becomes consistent in vertial and horizontal limits. Since it only takes the time to draw a wall it is cool.

very intersting tommy. A great new idea to elliminate the slab bn two floors! That is great.
Thanks

[yusuf]

Tommy, i also elliminated the slab by adjusting the origion and width of the created windows from solids, as you c no slab touching.
