Curtain Walls & Doors

The panel/door logic that makes curtain walls behave predictably.

Curtain walls consist of:
- Vertical grids
- Horizontal grids
- Mullions
- Panels
To add a door:
- Select a panel (Tab).
- Change the panel type to a Curtain Wall Door.
If no door exists:
- Load Family → Curtain Wall Door.
Flip door direction using Spacebar.
Simplify curtain walls:
- Remove grids if design intent is unclear.
- A simple glass wall is often clearer than default grids.
