Note: If your Scheme has a fixed-size grid pattern, the ghost feedback and pencil/snap point indicate where the next pattern segment will be complete.

Chained Curtain Wall

Use the Chained geometry method to create a multi-segment Curtain Wall. The reference line is a polyline.

For each segment, you can set up a separate Scheme, with a distinct pattern for each - in Edit mode.

A Frame is always placed where two adjacent segments are joined. Such a Frame cannot be deleted. (If you wish, you can set its type to Invisible, by selecting the Frame in Edit mode and adjusting its Type in Frame Settings.)
