AutoCAD Architecture :: Curved Curtain Wall

Feb 9, 2011

I have a curtain wall I need to make, but I need it to be curve on elevation. Its an arch. I can do it on sketchup but I need autocad precision to establish the modules. I have this division settings, horizontal 3.111 vertical 3.559m.

The profile arch has a 40.062m radius. 27.741 arc length. and a total angle of 39.673.  

My question is, how can I bend the curtain wall??? I can make a flat curtain wall to follow my referenced base curve, but I need tu curve it in elevation.  Here is a demo view from sketchup.What i'm trying to do is the coloured face.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Curved Curtain Wall Infill Panels Not Behaving Correctly?

Aug 13, 2012

I created a curved curtain wall based on a reference curve. I set the divisions and mullions and everything seems to be working like its supposed to except for a the mullions and the infill panels. First, the mullions vertically and horizontally dont seem to line up nor have any way to miter with themselves. They should because they are extruding along the same center point. This should be simple but it doesnt seem to work. Second, and the most annoying, is that the curtain wall infill panels dont seem to know where they are supposed to cut themselves. They leave themselves stranded at the ends for some reason and none of the settings for the panel or the curtain wall itself seems to address this. I thought it might have to do with the center point of the profile I used for the frames and mullions but apparently they dont and I dont have control of it. Seems like it should work a little more cleanly. Unless it is some sort of bug in ACA 2013.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Elevation Projection Onto A Curved Wall In Revit

Mar 30, 2011

Is it possible to project an elevation drawn in CAD onto a curved wall in Revit?

The pattern of the cladding is very complicated and varies in both directions (curves) so it was easier to draw in in CAD, but I would like to project it on my curved wall in Revit, co that I could calculate the cladding areas accurately.

How can i do it more accurate?, or it is a big task for the autocad?

Revit :: Curtain Wall Louvre Panel?

Dec 13, 2013

I'm trying to work up a standard curtain wall type for our office, and have hit a snag with a curtain wall panel.
 
I'm trying to make a panel which will feature a louvre profile, that will sit in the curtain wall opening nice and neat, and array the required height of the panel.
 
I've made up a generic object, inserted that into a CW panel, then got that into my CW OK, and it flexs fine, but if I try and do an array then it all falls apart?
 
As far as I've got attached, all I can get to work properly is to have the top and bottom louvre, if I turn this into an array it extends outside the bounds of the CW panels left/right reference plans.
 
I also have tried to do the array based on a division, e.g. 2000/50 = array number, but to do this I need a height, and when I try and put a height in it becomes overconstrained...

AutoCAD Architecture :: Wall Style Creation (Window To Cut Only One Portion Of Wall)

Dec 7, 2011

I'm attempting to create a wall style that has 2 components, a framed wall and a brick veneer.  What I would like to do is have this wall react a certain way when I insert a window.  Basically, I don't want the window to cut into the brick veneer, only the framing.

I have attached my attempt so far, and I have not figured out how to get the window to only cut the framed portion.

Revit :: Exporting Curtain Wall With Panels As Walls

Feb 16, 2012

I am trying to export my floor plan to dwg file and I have curtain wall there which have panels as regular wall types. The problem is that exporting it will put those panels on the wall layer. I need them to be on curtain wall panel layer. I tried to use "Function" parameter in wall family by changing certain wall types to Retaining (since I don't use this parameter) and changed Wall/Retaining category layer to curtain panel in dwg export setup. But it seems it has no effect.I also noticed that walls inserted as panels into curtain wall do have a parameter under "Identity Data" with the name "Categorize as" where are two values - wall or panel. But this does not have any effect either since there is no category for it in export setup.

Revit :: Patterned Curtain Wall Corner Alignment

Feb 9, 2014

I have the general outline and form of my building designed but I'm having problems with patterned curtain walls.
 
I have created my own Patterned Curtain wall Family and applied it to a conceptual mass, I have not added any parameters as I'm not too familiar with this aspect of Revit. The corners of the building do not align allowing viewing straight into the interior.
 
I have attached the model in my dropbox so you can fully understand my problem..
 
Conceptual Mass - [URL]......

Actual Model - [URL]........
 
Curtain Wall Family - [URL]...... 
 
I am also interested in applying glass to some of the hexagon patterns instead of steel to act as windows. At the moment I'm just turning the transparency up on individual patterns .

Revit :: How To Change Type Of Curtain Wall System

Oct 6, 2011

I am having a problem with creating a curtain wall system. After selecting my mass surfaces and choosing "create system" I am unable to change the type of curtain wall system. It just comes up with a regular grid system on the mass, where as before I was able to choose triangles, rhomboids etc under the properties tab. Now however I see nothing except for the current curtain system and recently used files.

I have also created a custom panel which I want to insert into my project but am unable to do so? I have tried loading it into the project, however because of the above problem I am not able to change it to my custom panel system.

Revit :: Why Won't Curtain Wall Mullions Properly Miter

Feb 13, 2013

I'm working in Autodesk Revit 2013, just trying to learn whatever I can.
 
For the life of me, I cannot get the mullions to miter together properly. What I have is a situation (within a sample project from Revit OOTB) where on a curtain wall, the lower horizontal mullion and originating end vertical mullion do miter at their corner. The curtain wall is attached to the floor decks below and above. However, nowhere else will other horizontal and vertical edge mullions on the grid miter together for a smooth junction. I fail to see how Autodesk themselves can get only one corner out of 4 to work properly, and furthermore, let this program out on the market with such a nerve-wracking anomaly within their product.
 
I've been working on a saved-as copy of one of Autodesk's sample projects. How to get mullions to work properly, consistently?
