<div>Just checked. Spandrel Glass is the next to last listed material in the materials Library. How to look up its properties are for you young pups. If it is a material, I believe it will have only opaque properties.Again, it is shown as 1/4", so add another layer with an airspace between and whatever insulation is behind it.</div><div><br></div><div>Vulcans never lie..</div><div><br></div>

I inserted the vision panels of the curtainwall on the exterior walls and inserted the spandrels separate from the vision panels of the curtainwall.

It may not be that bad actually – what’s your base wall type? For a curtain wall that is half spandrel and half vision
glass, make the exterior opaque surface equivalent to the spandrel sections as a defined opaque wall construction, and then add the vision glass to that – if you change the surface constructions in spreadsheet view it may not be that painful after all. The
painful part will be deleting all of the current spandrel sections that are now defined as the base wall.</span></div>

an opaque surface although this spandrel glass definition may be available to be selected…I’m not sure it would be an accurate choice. I wonder if it is a research entry that isn’t meant for the modeling public. Anyone used it?</span></div>
