How do I chang the glazing in a curtain wall door?

[K.E]

Struggling to work this one out.

 

I have created a curtain wall and added two doors by selecting each panel and right clicking "add door". I've converted to unstyled, then in the settings for that door I've changed the leaf to glazed. This gave me a glazed door exactly as I need, but I want to change the glazing in the panel to match rest of the glazing I have picked for the curtain wall.

 

How do I change this?

 

Thanks

You need to go to the 'Classes' tab in the Door Settings + see what class is selected for 'Glazing'. Then either replace this class with the appropriate one or edit it so it has the same texture as your Curtain Wall glazing.

What @Tom W. said.  Here are some screenshots.

I don't use Curtain Walls much. I think I have just inserted Doors in Top/Plan the conventional way. When I try right-clicking in 'Edit Frames + Panels' mode the options are greyed-out:

 

How do I insert a Door this way instead? Thanks!

Thanks

 

I have tried both of these things earlier and it didn't work for some reason. I just tried closing and opening my file and trying again and it's working now. Strange.

 

Thanks for the help

When you insert the door using the method you describe, it's going to use your currently active door style for styling the door.

So, before you insert the door, configure one to your liking and the issue is eliminated.

If you need to delete a misplaced door, you can right click on the door and select "remove break", which will let you place the door correctly.

 

If you do not know how to style doors, take a look at that first.  The default style places all the 3D door geometry on the same class as what the door is placed on, rarely a desired behavior, especially when metal frames and glazing is involved.  Best to come up with a classing system for doors and curtain walls prior to proceeding so your glass and frames will match as desired.

Update:

 

Frustratingly, I have opened the model today and the glass I fixed yesterday has once again disapeared 🤷‍♀️ I've repeated the steps I took yesterday and I can't get it to match again.

 

Edit:

 

Nevermind, the class was hidden 😅
