How to Create Non-Rectangular Double Skin Facade.

Dear all,

 

I have created a double skin curtain panel family but it cannot be applied to non-rectangular panels.

I would like to get your suggestion about how to create the non-rectangular double skin facade?

 

Thanks.

It is certainly possible to create a non-rectangular curtain wall. However could you provide a sample of your double curtain wall family for further analysis and troubleshooting please.

Thank you for reply.

 

I have created a double skin curtain wall panel family (Panel_Brush Aluminium Composite.rfa) which has two planes. Then I loaded it into my Project which has a trapezoid shaped façade (Double Skin Panel.jpg). The rectangular panels were able to be transformed into curtain panels, but the remaining triangular shapes around the perimeter of the trapezoid could not.  Could you please advise how to fix this.

I looked at your curtain wall family and it has been created with the "Metric Curtain Wall Panel.rft" and can only be applied on a parallelogram, including rectangular.
If you want to apply panels on non-rectangular, you can try other ways, for example, divide mass surface, and then apply curtain panel pattern based component on the divided surface.
