Create new form w/ mass Select arcs for first half of mass Select arcs for second half of mass Load panel into project Applying panels to walls Components Select panel Click four points to suggest the direction/orientation of the panel on the wall A. B. • Create a vertical reference line from center point Set vertical plane C. • Create an arc using corner points and the vertical line as the height of the arc • CREATING DIAMOND SHAPED PANELS

5. Repeat vertical line and arc steps • Controls the visibility of datum elements (grids, levels and reference lines) in specific views Open up a new curtain wall family • Project Browser • Open • Family • Curtain panel by pattern • Rhomboid surface Manipulating/Editing panels • Use reference lines to create perpendicular lines across the panel • Create center point • Create a vertical reference line from center point • Create an arc using corner points and the vertical line as the height of the arc • Repeat vertical line and arc steps on opposite ends of the panel. Create new form w/ mass Select arcs for first half of mass Select arcs for second half of mass Load panel into project Applying panels to walls Components Select panel Click four points to suggest the direction/orientation of the panel on the wall A. B. NOTE: TRY TO GET THE 2 ARCS AS CLOSE TO THE CORNER AS POSSIBLE You should have 3 arcs in total, all going in the same direction • CREATING DIAMOND SHAPED PANELS

6. Create new form w/ Mass Open up a new curtain wall family • Project Browser • Open • Family • Curtain panel by pattern • Rhomboid surface Manipulating/Editing panels • Use reference lines to create perpendicular lines across the panel • Create center point • Create a vertical reference line from center point • Create an arc using corner points and the vertical line as the height of the arc • Repeat vertical line and arc steps on opposite ends of the panel. Create new form w/ mass Select arcs for first half of mass Select arcs for second half of mass Load panel into project Applying panels to walls Components Select panel Click four points to suggest the direction/orientation of the panel on the wall NOTE: THE PANEL IS CREATED WITH TWO PARTS A. Select center arc and one of the smaller corner arcs, then click create form B. The first half of the panel is now created Now create the other half by selecting the center arc and the other smaller arc • CREATING DIAMOND SHAPED PANELS

7. Load panel into project Open up a new curtain wall family • Project Browser • Open • Family • Curtain panel by pattern • Rhomboid surface Manipulating/Editing panels • Use reference lines to create perpendicular lines across the panel • Create center point • Create a vertical reference line from center point • Create an arc using corner points and the vertical line as the height of the arc • Repeat vertical line and arc steps on opposite ends of the panel. Create new form w/ mass Select arcs for first half of mass Select arcs for second half of mass Load panel into project Applying panels to walls Components Select panel Click four points to suggest the direction/orientation of the panel on the wall A. Now that the panel is created, you can load it into your project B. Choose the project that you want the panel to be loaded into.

8. Applying panels to walls A. After loading the panel into your project you can apply it to your walls. Go to components and select your panel Open up a new curtain wall family • Project Browser • Open • Family • Curtain panel by pattern • Rhomboid surface Manipulating/Editing panels • Use reference lines to create perpendicular lines across the panel • Create center point • Create a vertical reference line from center point • Create an arc using corner points and the vertical line as the height of the arc • Repeat vertical line and arc steps on opposite ends of the panel. Create new form w/ mass Select arcs for first half of mass Select arcs for second half of mass Load panel into project Applying panels to walls Components Select panel Click four points to suggest the direction/orientation of the panel on the wall B. Select four points on your wall to orient your panel in the direction you wish. C. Copy panels across your wall 4 points
