Generic Model Pattern Based

[dedsresende]

Hi, I'm projecting a full brise soleil facade, and I was thinking in doing it with some generic model pattern based.

I've already locked all the references, but it continues loosing some vertical reference, like the attached pics.

Please, can someone show me my mistakes, has anyone experienced somethingt like that?

Thanks a lot!!!

It could be done so as you propose..but I'd prefer to use A Curtain System applied to a Mass Element modeled in place.

Empty System Panel - Empty and the mullions onliy on one direction as brise soleil blades...I used this method and it was quick and easy..

I didn't understand it very well, isn't the mullion family a profile family? How can I use a nested family inside a mullion family?

[constantin.stroescu · Accepted solution]

after opening a new Family using Generic Model Pattern Base , place a point in the middle of 1-2 segment (between points 1 and 2) and one point in the middle of 3-4. Draw a Reference Line that conects theese two mid points.

In my oppinion here can be the problem.:

...Select the grid ( in 3d view click on the border)...in Properties you will see :

DIMENSIONS: Horzontal Spacing and Vertical Spacing...increase there values and apply,,,doing this you will check if the Refence Line you have drawn, realy stays on the contur....if it doesn.t  align and lock it 

If the flexion is ok the insertion in the prokect it is also ok

In the attached image you can see an example of bris soleil made with Modern Patern Base and one with Curtain Wall (in this case the blade-mullion can only be an extruded shape)
