Vertical Louver System with Adjustable Angles

sstattelman4GLLM — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 16:19:37 GMT

I am trying to create a Vertical louver system on a curtain wall, but can't figure out how to make adjustable angles. Just wondering if someone already had a premade file or if there is a video that creates something like this that I can't find. Thanks in advance.

You mean a CW with adjustable CW Panels. You can easily create a parametric Panel Family.

Yea, I guess what I'm really struggling with is how to make a parametric adjustable angles as all the videos show horizontal louvers being adjustable, but not vertical.

(1) BPD RT005 Parametric Louver System - YouTube I've found this video so far that shows everything, but the adjustable angles

Vertical or Horizontal, it is the same basic workflow. In fact, easier with just one panel opening and closing.

TIP: Host, Align and Lock the movable geometry to the top of a Ref. Line Workplane and pulled your labeled dimension from the Ref. Plane. Make the driving Angle Parameter Instance kind.

Sorry I'm not too good with families, do you have a video I could follow to add the parametric aspect?
