Align Curtain Wall Grids

[PhilvK]

I have created a practice curtain wall system by using wall by face on a mass. I unlocked the grid lines circled in red on the vertical face below, and would like to use the align tool on the sloped grids highlighted in yellow to match the verticals. I can select the grid on the verticals, but nothing 'selects' on the sloped grids and nothing aligns. Is this even possible? Thank you.

you can't do it in that way because they are on two different &  un-parallel planes.

However, I think you can align the grid to a face of the other mulion.

Thank you. Could you tell me what the best way is to create a curtain wall from a mass, and then editing it? I load the mass into a project and then select a face after using the Curtain System button. That places the curtain system on the face, but then I can;t seem to be able to edit the boundary of the curtain system.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue with a piece of massing, with two opposite sides triangular (like a gable roof).Here you see where I want to align the curtain systems

Maybe use two curtain system types.  One is with fixed grid division spacing and the other without.  Then add grids manually on the one without and align them with the fixed grids of the other.

Or, create a series of horizontal reference planes, divide surfaces your mass by selecting those reference planes, then apply a curtain panel pattern based or adaptive components to the divided surfaces.

See Revit 2022 example.

Thanks, that is what I ended up doing, I had the ones on the sloped walls set at 1500 mm distance, and then I measured the distance in a straight from the first one to the ground, and used that distance as the vertical distance on the grid system for the vertical sides....
