Automatically-generated Systems versus user-created systems So far we have just looked at creating a Curtain System from the “bottom up”. But you can also use pre-defined Curtain Systems which have default distances between grid lines, default mullion styles, etc. We will not cover that method in this article- as the main objective here is to just explain what elements constitute a Curtain System. I think that is best done by examining the “manual” creation method. Modifying a Curtain System OK. So now that we’ve created a basic Curtain System, let’s take a look at how we can modify it. Curtain Grid Line spacing We can easy change the position of any of the grid line we have previously placed. Just select the grid line and then either use the move tool, drag it with the cursor or type in a new value into the temporary dimensions. 
Curtain Grid Line segments (adding and subtracting) We do not have to have continous Curtain Grid Lines. We may want to take out certain segments, or indeed add segments- to merge two adjacent panels or create sub-panels respectively. To remove a segment from a grid line you’ve placed- just select the grid line first, then hit “Add or Remove Segments” from the Options Bar… 
and then click on the section of grid line that you wish to remove…. 
Non-rectangular Curtain Systems The perimeter of the Curtain System is just like the perimeter of a normal wall, in so much as you can Edit it’s Profile and sketch a new shape. With a little imagination you can easily produce some quite radical curtain system designs!
