Can a Curtain Wall Panel sides  - ie not those facing outwards or inwards - be angled?

 

This is a screenshot taken from top.

Side view - as you can see, I have a profile looking like this, which requires me to extrude from the side and not from the top

Not sure what you're after, but you can angle the sketch lines and make them parametric.

If the over all shape of the CW is circular curve (ie: constant cut angle) you can integrate the angle parameter in the custom panel similar to below (type or instance) ... see Family in the attached file

Alternatives:

  1. If the the Curtain Wall is segmented, use a Basic Wall type
  2. Otherwise, if it is kurb stones what you are modeling use any of the following alternatives
  • Railing 
  • Slab Edge (Hosted to a slab or Model Lines)
