Define glazing for the concept building

Glazing has default values defined for both conceptual modeling templates (Imperial, SI). For instance, the Imperial template defaults to 40% applied to all external surfaces (Global).

You can change Glazing after you create the building mass model and the overall building space.

  1. In the Glazing settings, enter a smaller percentage in the field provided for the Glazing percentage setting that is smaller than the default value (40%). For instance 10%.
  2. Click Pick facade to apply the new glazing percentage to one of the building facades. "Update opening > Select wall" is displayed in status bar prompt are.
  3. Select the external walls of the building facade you want the new glazing percentage to be applied to. The glazing bands are automatically updated.
