Edit System Panel Solid

Anonymous — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 16:23:59 GMT

I am trying to create a curtain wall system panel that will adapt to a non rectangular shape. I have created a curtain wall panel with reinforcing that adapts to any rectangular panel, but does not work with non rectangular panels. The system panels adapt nicely however when I add reinforcing Revit no longer treats them as system panels. Is there a solution?

Only system panels can adapt to non rectangular shapes. If you have some odd shapes, consider using nested curtain wall as panel, or pattern base panel off a divided surface, or repetitive adaptive component.

Sorry I cannot give specific solution since I cannot and will not open a docx file off the internet. You should post pictures as JPG or PNG or PDF instead.

Use the first approach I mentioned in the previous reply: Create another curtain wall type with various vertical mullions like what you show in the picture and use it as the panel of the parent curtain wall.

For construction documents, I would just model using a regular panel, and then detail a section view to show the actual condition.

And please don't start the same thread three times.

True that. I wouldn't even detail them in my construction documents. This level of details belongs to shop drawings, which OP is maybe doing.

Would you please give me more information on How to do the following "If you have some odd shapes, consider using nested curtain wall as panel".
