When I apply a curtain system to a mass, the curtain panels flip inside to outside as shown in the attached image, when applied to a curved mass surface. Additionally, if these systems are applied independently the system justification (beginning and end) is reversed.
View 5 RepliesI'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?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I want the "rows" of hexagons to alternate between solid and void.
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.
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.
how i can align the grids and mullions in a curtain system of a curved glass roof?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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...
How would I set up a view filter so only curtain walls are showing. Thew will not show up if walls aren't also checked, but I don't want the walls, just the curtain walls.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've created a non-symmetrical curtain wall mullion profile. When I assign that profile to a vertical curtain grid line, it is flipped in the project. In the attached image, you can see that the brace on the right in the family plan view is on the left in the project plan view.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I can't load any glass curtain doors from seek or revitcity. They won't load as a component or door.
I can't place a door into a storefront wall. I get this error saying something like,"cutting surface doesn't not work" I tried to adjust the mullions so that the door would fit, but it still doesn't work.
Can I demension the interior side of a wall when the wall justification is centerline?
Is there a way to calculate the roof load in revit?
I'd like to select glass in curtain wall to put door in it , but it didn't select .......why? attach Jpg for it
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Why would a curtain wall double door be symmetrical in the family editor but asymmetrical (always by 3") in the project.

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..

I am producing a infill on a shop and I have used curtain walls. See photo below.
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.
I'm trying to Array a typical floor for a high rise that I've made a group, but I can't array curtain walls vertically. It's too many floors to do one by one and if I make changes to one floor I'd like them all to change.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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?
I was able to bring in custom curtain wall panels as legend components-- however, when I set the host length, the height is automatically the same. Is there a way to insert a curtain wall panel into a legend that will have a rectangular shape (in my case, taller than it is wide)?
