Revit :: Negative Joint Mullion Curtain Walls

Feb 11, 2014

I'm trying to get a curtain wall style working, where I would have panels with a clean joint between them, of a controllable size. I'm also working with system curtain wall panels as I expect the CW style will need to work with variable profiles at the top.
 
My attempt so far has been to do a U-shape profile to get the panels to stop against, but this means the U is seen, particularly at the + junctions of the panels, which is not desirable. I could locally hide the mullions, but this is time consuming and I'd rather do it using a style-based method.
 
I've also tried doing a filter based on the CW Mullion name, and making it not visible, but this doesn't work for some reason.

Revit :: Design The Border Mullion Of The Curtain Wall

Apr 3, 2013

I am trying to design the border mullion of the curtain wall, in a way that its centerline aligns to the border gridline.

For default the border  mullion aligns the external face of it to the gridline, but I would like it to act as the internal mulluon - aligning with the centerline.

Revit :: Curtain Wall Mullion Isn't Aligned With Grid Line

Nov 4, 2011

I'm having a bit of trouble using a curtain wall BIM model that I downloaded from a manufacturer's web site.
 
It seems like the vertical mullions are not centered on the grid lines; one side of the mullion is 1 3/16" from the grid line while the other is 1 13/16" away. If you look at the mullion in plan, you'll see the same issue. If you look at the profile rfa file, it appears that the centerline is properly located and locked, it's just in the project file where it's off.
 
 If I select the mullion in the browser the right-click, Make Element Editable is grayed out.

 If I select the mullion in the drawing area, un-pin it and then right-click, Edit Family is grayed out.

 If i select the mullion in the drawing area then click Edit Type, the Type Properties dialog box shows the two parameters in the Dimensions group, "Width on side 2" and "Width on side 1", that are uneven by the same amount that the mullion is off of the grid line. I suspect that this the issue, but these are both grayed out and I can't locate their origin. If I duplicate the mullion, those parameters are still grayed out.I can save the profile, but not the mullion, which is showing the issue and contains the parameters that I want to change. How I can select and edit the mullion?

Revit :: Curtain Wall Panel Ends Short Of Mullion

Nov 12, 2012

I have a curtain wall profile loaded into a project.  When I change the panel in a CW to the profile that I loaded, the new panel is 5/8" short on both sides.  As you can see in the attached image, on the left side of the plan view, the panel is 5/8" short of the cw grid line - there is no mullion there.  On the right side, the panel is 5/8" short of where the mullion crosses the reference plane in the mullion .rfa file.  The system panels on either side terminate correctly.

This isn't specific to any project; it works (or doesn't work) in any file.  There are no horizontal mullions in the file shown. How to get the profile to extend properly?

Revit :: Room Boundary For Curtain Walls?

Nov 7, 2013

Is it possible to get the room boundary line in a curtain wall to be set to the inner face of the mullion instead of the inner face of the glass?
 
I have looked at the System family library but cant find a setting for changing this.
 
Also, setting the location line is greyed out. Why?

If I draw clockwise I get the location line on the inner face of the glass even if the greyed out location line setting in the options bar is set to center.Why?

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 :: Aligning Two Curtain Walls / Panels In Blob-like Form

Jan 20, 2014

I'm trying to figure out a small problem I have with creating a Blob-like form. I've created a mass by creating a form out of six (two per level) reference lines. The Form comes out nice, but whenever I divide the form, the two created surfaces don't align with each other. Therefore, when I create curtain walls or patterns on this form, they don't match up either.
 
I have attached two images and a Conceptual massing file with the mass inside.

Revit :: Top Mullion Show Up In The Floor Plan?

Jul 24, 2012

I just created a simple winodw family. I don't understand it looks fine in the reference level within the family.
 
But once I placed it in the project, it only shows the top mullion, I had to delete the top mullion within the family to make the plan view look right.  What's the reason of it?

Revit :: How To Join Two Curtain Wall Panels

I've been added and removed specific mullions along curtain wall grid lines and now have the mullions where I want them. Unfortunately, some of the glass panels remain divided along the grid lines even though the mullions have been removed. Is there some way to join the two panels into one?

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...

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.

I am not sure what would be the best way to do this would you make a mass or in place model.

I am not sure the name of the system but it is like insulation panels or like blinds.
