Curtain walls are an option of the Wall Style dialogue.
Walls, as with most building shell tools can be styled. Styled objects save you time as you can preset most of the options and in the case of curtain walls means you can have your common curtain wall arrangements, with all the associated graphics and data pre-styled.

Vectorworks allows you to attach data to anything you like — this is done through records. You can then run reports and schedules on this data!
Regardless of your industry, it is always handy to know how many of certain things you have and to have other associated data about those objects. This could be a plant schedule, a door schedule or a lighting schedule or a report on anything at all. Intelligent use of Records can make all this very easy. In fact, many of the industry objects come with their own records and data attached.

Participants will begin to unlock data from the model. We will learn how
to make instrument schedules, hoist reports, custom worksheets, and
equipment counts. We will also explore Data Tags and Data Visualization.

When creating documentation, architects and designers need to label drawing elements. In a BIM workflow, modeled objects contain data, and that data can be visualized using smart labels. In Vectorworks, any object’s data can be labeled using the Data Tag tool. In this course, you will learn how harness the power of Data Tags in Vectorworks software, to not only report data, but also push data to objects and giving you an intuitive way to append data in your designs.

Vectorworks brings data visualization to the live design environment.
Quickly change objects’ attributes using data parameters that allow you to view everything from errors to the impacts of your decisions — all while you’re designing. And because it’s in the live design environment, you can edit an object’s data as you’re designing and see the impact of those changes; for example, you can have doors turn red when they lack fire protection. You will also experience greater efficiency in your process by being able to visualize data for error/quality checking and work validation.
Data visualization can be applied directly to the model or via a viewport, a viewport will even produce a key for you!

Detail viewports are great for drawing coordination. They let you mark an area on any viewport that you wish to look at in greater detail!
Often in a project, you will want a closer look at a particular area or part of your project to show it in greater detail. Detail viewports allows you to create a visible crop on another viewport which then automatically tracks to the detail itself even if it is on a different sheet!

There is a common misconception, particularly with BIM models, that you need to draw or model everything as built right down to the wall ties and screws. This is thankfully not the case! The AEC standards recommend modelling to a 1:50 scale with detailing done pretty much in the traditional manner. You do however have the added benefit of being able to use your model to get you started!
It is also perfectly acceptable to have traditional 2D generic details that you can save in your Libraries and reuse from project to project.

In this session, we will begin developing our concept model by attending more carefully to its materials and methods of construction. Therefore, we will explore how to add components to your Walls, Slabs, and Roofs and control their components' interactions, much of which can be automated using Stories and Levels.
Adding specificity to the material assemblies of your building components allows you to extract a reasonable level of detail for larger-scale plans and sections, but remember: the tools are there to help you, not restrict you; if you want something different, you can always model it—a custom wall, slab, or roof, for example—using the 3D Modeling tool set.

In this session, we will continue developing our model. After adding stairs, we will explore a number of features that allow us to embed more information about our project into the model. These features include Data Tags, both Pre-formatted and Custom Reports for Door and Window Schedules, and Symbols with 2D Components and Detail Levels.
