[Equest-users] window shading devices

Kristin,

You could create one window and then make the other windows "like" the first window using link-to existing.  The window to reference will need to come before all other windows referencing it...

Or, this sounds like it might be curtain wall glazing.  If so, you should be able to model a single window and create external shading devices to match the design.  You will have to adjust coordinates to move the device close to the building façade.

Looking for a shortcut here-

I've got a building with lots of glazing, and for a typical 12'high by 24'long wall, there is a shading grid device with horizontal and vertical mullions at 2'spacing (both horiz and vert). Is there an easier way to model this than doing a series of 2'x2' windows ?

Is it possible to attach a shading grid to a building face?

Thanks
