Curtain Wall Panel Parameters
CURTAIN WALL PANEL FIELD
DESCRIPTION
3D Back View
3D Symbol of the Panel (from the back, that is, the inside of the Curtain Wall).
3D Front View
3D Symbol of the Panel (from the front, that is, the outside of the Curtain Wall).
Panel Class
Lists the panel’s Class as “Main”, “Distinct”, or “Custom.”
Each Panel can be assigned to a predefined Panel Class (“Main” or “Distinct), by clicking the panels in the Preview window of the Grid Pattern and Preview panel of Curtain Wall System Settings - Scheme Page.
Panels from the “Custom” class have been individually customized using Panel Settings, accessible through Curtain Wall Edit Mode.
Panel Type
Name of the Panel Type as chosen under the Panel Type and Geometry in Curtain Wall Panel Settings.
Inside Surface
Surface of the Panel inside surface as defined in the Model Panel of CW Panel Settings. (For panels which are GDL Objects, the surface is defined in its GDL script.)
Edge Surface
Surface of the Panel edge as defined in the Model Panel of CW Panel Settings. (For panels which are GDL Objects, the surface is defined in its GDL script.)
Outside Surface
Surface of the Panel outside surface as defined in the Model Panel of CW Panel Settings. (For panels which are GDL Objects, the surface is defined in its GDL script.)
Height
Height of the panel, not including the panel’s extrusion into the surrounding frames.
Width
Width of the panel, not including the panel’s extrusion into the surrounding frames.
Gross Surface Area
Gross surface area of the panel, calculated by multiplying its height and width values, including the panel’s extrusion into the surrounding frames (the “depth” value defined in the Frame Type and Geometry panel of CW Frame Settings.)
Perimeter
Perimeter of the panel, based on its nominal width and height.
Nominal Height
Height of the panel, not including the panel’s extrusion into the surrounding frames.
Nominal Width
Width of the panel, not including the panel’s extrusion into the surrounding frames.
For generic panels, this is the same as the regular Width parameter.
For GDL panels, this value can be defined in the panel’s parameters.
Nominal Surface Area
Surface area of the panel, calculated by multiplying its nominal height and nominal width values. Does not include the depth to which the panel is extruded into the surrounding frames.
Function
Either Fixed, Window, or Door, depending on the Panel Type chosen (under Panel Type and Geometry in Curtain Wall Panel Settings.
Orientation
For Panels that act as Doors/Windows and are assigned an opening angle, lists the direction (Left or Right) of opening.
Angle from North
Rotation angle of the panel in degrees measured from North.
Abbreviation of Orientation
Orientation of the rotation angle.
Preview Picture
Predefined Preview Picture of the Panel.
Slant Angle
Slant angle of the Panel measured to the horizontal plane.
From Zone
Name of the Zone (if any) from which the Panel faces outward. (The Zone that abuts the panel’s inside surface.)
From Zone Number
Number of the Zone (if any) from which the Panel faces outward. (The Zone that abuts the panel’s inside surface.)
To Zone
Name of the Zone (if any) toward which the Panel faces outward. (The Zone that abuts the panel’s outside surface.)
To Zone Number
Name of the Zone (if any) toward which the Panel faces outward. (The Zone that abuts the panel’s outside surface.
