Negative Joint Mullion Curtain walls

[ChuckEdwards]

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.

Any suggestions?

I am not sure I understand you well...but why not use a panel with offset parameters on its four sides?

a, b and c reprezents half distances between panels..If you unpin the selected panel from Image 03 then you can change only the selected panel....

That works for rectangular panels. But if you edit outlines of the curtain wall and have some diagonal lines that parametric panel doesn't work.

So if there was a way to create the joint with void mullion, that would be way more flexible panel.

Use Empty System Panels for Void Mullions.

For complex Curtain Walls or Curtain Systems shapes I would recommend using the Massing Environment and also Pattern Based Panels as you can make them with various sizes and parameters
