Revit :: Adding Stiles And Rails To Curtain Wall Glass Door

Oct 12, 2012

The only door I can find to insert into a glass curtain wall is a simple glass single door with a handle. I know this is a very particular thing and any door won't work.  My door needs to have stiles and rails like most doors in storefronts or curtain walls.  How do I create a type with these features?  Do I need to create a family from scratch?

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 :: 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 :: 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?

Revit :: Unable To Select Curtain Wall Grid Line

Dec 3, 2013

Something has happened and now I cannot select grid lines in curtain walls.  I can tab to highlight the grid line (dashed blue line) and click once.  This used to make the grid line a more solid blue and witness line dimensions appeared.  Now the cursor becomes a "move cursor" (four arrows), the grid line highlight disappears and there are no witness lines.

Nothing is pinned.  The vertical grid pattern is not fixed.  I've restarted Revit and I still can't select a grid line like before.
 
This problem started when I tried to change a grid line in a curtain wall that I forgot was part of a group.  It let me select the grid line and when I changed the witness line dimension value there was an error message with no information except for entity ID and a cancel button.  After that I could no longer select grid lines in this project.  If I copy and paste a curtain wall from the project to a default (see attached) I cannot select there either.   I can still select grid lines in other older projects, however.

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 :: How To Create Custom Curtain Wall Which Will Contain Vertical Strapping

Jan 27, 2012

I am trying to create a custom curtain wall which will contain vertical strapping for the vertical mullions and horizontal wood boards.  I created the two profiles and am able to create the curtain wall type control spacing etc...This looks great in elevation and plan, but when I cut a section detail the vertical strapping is cut at every horizontal mullion.
 
My question in short!  If I want to create the look of continuous horizontal boards how can I prevent the vertical mullions from being cut?  I'd rather not offset them apart so I can use this model element in details.  See the section detail view attached.

Revit :: How To Build Curtain Wall Panel Family - Scale Proportionally

May 29, 2013

I am trying to build a curtain wall panel family (see attached). I want the extremities of the solids to be glued to the surrounding frame. I want to be able to scale the model inside the frame with different curtain wall panel system sizes. 5'x4', 6'x8' etc... I am having problems with restricted constraints. I do not know what I am doing wrong. the model inside the panel are created from soild extrusions. if I align the solid extrusion from one side of the frame , only that side will grow or shrink with frame, and makes the model look weird. I tried to group the solids with reference lines in them glued to the reference line grid i created in the panel and that did not work. I want to be to scale proportionally the model inside the panel.

Revit :: Adding Wall Sweeps To Wall Profile?

Jul 29, 2011

I have a question about wall profiles. I want to make a profile on a wall so I can make Zinc Panels on the wall that are 10" X 20". I've attached a picture of what I'm going for. I'd like it to have a 1/2" spacing between them and with a joint depth of 1" and I'd like to do this is the wall type so that I can use this wall in multiple places rather than having it model-in-place. Anyway I have made a profile that is 1" X 10" so that it can become my panel  profile. But when I go to add it to the wall as a wall sweep as I have seen people do I get hung up on how to make it tile up the wall and also I don't understand how to make the profile so that it is 20" wide. I have a screen shot of where I'm editing this too. Below is the link of the site.

Revit :: Can Door Family Read Fire Rating Of A Wall
