Glass wall with Mullians/grid

[Cadwork22]

See attached, I need to convert the angled wall into a glass wall with Mullians/Grids. Any idea how to do this?

Draw the glass wall with the wall tool, using the OOB X15 wall type "glass wall."   Use material regions not cutting finish to apply all the muntins and mullions you want.  Show us how it looks when done.

In addition to Gene's excellent suggestion, you could also draw a framed wall and then install full height windows with mullions and very narrow frames.

I used the glass wall, see attached, not sure what you mean about material region?

[ericepv]

You can easily make the mullions from poly-lines https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00930/creating-custom-muntins.html

I cannot find the Load Muntin button?

Select your CAD lines and then make them a CAD block.(on lower toolbar) then click on the window glass. Once you do this, the load mullions button will appear on the lower toolbar.

[Cadwork22]

sorry for the hassle.  See attached, still not seeing it.

Follow these steps:

• Draw your desired mullions on the window using CAD lines
• Select the CAD lines and make them a CAD bock
• Then click on the glass and the load mullions tool will appear on the lower toolbar
• Click on the load mullions button

Weird, I followed your instructions, but couldn't find icon for load mullions, I'll do some research.

 

Thanks Eric

Make sure your CAD lines/CAD block are still selected when you click on the window glass.

The tool to create a custom window muntin only works on windows...not "glass" walls. That is why Gene suggested the wall material region tool. 

 

Take a back clipped elevation of the glass wall. Click the wall tool. You should see the wall material region tool. If you double click this tool it'll bring up a dialogue so you can edit what the material will be....and whether to cut the parent layer.

After creating a material religion, I tried to draw CAD lines, create CAD block, and then Load Mullions, but none of the this was available.

Any idea how to make a grid, I also changed the layer to .5" glass.

[ericepv]

Try drawing a regular wall (you can make it narrow) and then install a large window with a very thin frame. You can then add your mullions with the standard tools.

Thanks everyone!

Pic of glass wall quickly done doodled with material regions to mock up mullions.  You can see the extents of the wall.

 

The OP might better had described his situation as a framed curtain wall, in which case the solution is done better with windows and mullions.  The way he described it made me think of some super modernistic thing done with huge panels of sheet glass.  Like some 100 million dollar folly built on a seafront lot way out past East Hampton.
