Method 5 – Curtain Walls with Custom Panels

This method is meant to use custom panels of various shapes, materials, etc. to create designs such as Spanish tiles for wall or roof application or textures such as weaves. The key thing to remember in this method is that you are adjusting the “non-definition” of the mullions to create the necessary spacing for the panels to look joined.

Pro Tip: Explore other Boolean operations to generate custom panels. Ensure you lock the top and bottom of the panel extrusions to their respective Reference Planes.
