In the settings for the material that is assigned to your curtain wall components.

Sorry I cant find it. :S

 

1. I click on the curtain wall

2. In the properties-window I click on "Edit Type"?

3. Then? I dont find anythin about reflection or the color

 

Is that correct?

No, that is not correct.  The curtain wall is made up of componenets.  Usually mullions and panels.  You can crete a CW with multiple mullion types (or no mullions at all) and multiple panel types.  The materials are assigned to these components individually.

So goto your elevation view and tab select to pick which components you are using for mullions and panels.  NOTE - these are type based componets and settings.  Goto the components properties setting and change the material there.  This will change all compontes of this type.

There is no "material" when clicked on Edit Type. I have no "Material and Finishes" tab. My tabes are:

 

Construction, Vertical grid Pattern, Horizontal grid pattern, Vertical mullions, Horizontal mullions and identy data

You are selecting the curtain wall - that is not what Ty said to select.  Follow the selection process I posted then follow Ty's instructions.

Lolflakes,

 

Look at the properties of the CW you posted.  NOTE that you have nothing assigned for panels or mullions.  You have "Empty System Panel" You have nothing but the definition of the limits of your CW - no panels no mullions - nothing!

 

You really need to spend some time with your Help :  Curtain Wall Workflow  << That topic and the included topics under it.  Or at a minimum, watch an on-line video on curtain walls.
