Hello all,

 

Please refer to the attached photo. This was built in Sketchup as part of a design study. Is it possible to replicate in Revit?

 

Thank you!

A way of how can it be done by using Curtain Walls without any other workaround (sweep or other..):

Another way you  could do arched/curved Mullions is as Beams (e.g. Structural Framing Families) via 3D Snapping.

Post your working file or a picture so we can see what you are trying to do.

I don't remember your post being there.  Looks like you beat me by 4 minutes.  That's probably after I had already modeled it and captured it.  I'm sure that took more than 4 minutes.

I'll go ahead and give that a try. Is there a video resource or place in a mastering revit book that this technique is referenced for help while I'm doing it? I'm not super familiar with shape editing on curtain walls (still in my first year)

Just select the curtain wall on an elevation or 3d view and click Edit Profile button from the ribbon.  Draw the top arc for the lower curtain wall and the bottom arc for the top curtain wall.
