Adding Custom Graphics as a Display Component of a Curtain Wall Unit
There may be instances where an infill, frame, or mullion requires a custom two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional
(3D) graphic. For example, you might need a highly detailed three-dimensional truss as the mullions or a decorative
light fixture applied to an infill. In cases like these, you can create a custom block, add a display component with the
block attached, and associate that component with an element definition. When you assign that definition to an
element, the block is also displayed.
