noel-

i guess i'm just getting kind of lost trying to figure out
what you want this wall to do..

this is related to what we have been discussing in
the "Layer Wraps" thread..

you are starting with a detail drawing of how you want
a wall to be..

that is the CAD approach- to start with a detail of what
you want to build.. the revit approach is to build a
model of what you want to build and then detail it
for construction purposes.. sometimes the kind of
details you want are automatically produced with revit
and sometimes you need to draw them..

sorry i can't be of more help..

You need either a custom mullion or a filler piece plus a regular mullion. You can solve this by creating this special piece with a profile. Then, apply that profile to the mullion on that side of the curtain wall.

but the model needs to be buildable ............ask santa for a copy of the practical building guide for xmas you might learn something. Happy Christmas Edited by: Discussion_Admin on Dec 18, 2009 10:26 AM

Bern-

you said it once yourself- "collaboration"..

it means that the model builder (or drafter as
they used to call it) is no longer on their
own to make anything buildable.. now the
model builder works side-by-side with the
builder- and even the consultants..

the only reason i as a model builder need
to be aware of "practical building" is to help
the interaction flow better..

is there anything about what i'm saying that
you don't think fits a BIM workflow?

let's nail this down bern- you and me..

Bern-

i see you're getting beat-up pretty bad in the
CAD managers forum..

they all know you've been hanging out with
BIM people and they don't like it.. you better
bail out of CAD completely and come over here..

this is the future anyway and you know that..

your AutoCAD skills will be an asset with BIM
for about 10 more years.. revit and AutoCAD
work together- trust me.. and nothing is more
fun than model building..

com'on burn you can't lose..
