Can't make opening or join corrugated wall/roof as curtain wall

[Anonymous238]

I created walls and roofs from a curtain wall using a extruded curtain panel family for the corrugated shape. I can not create an opening or join the walls to the roof without errors. I see the only way to do openings is to remove a section of panel but that requires the horizontal opening to be in denominations of the width of a panel which doesn't work. Is there a workaround? If not is there another way of making corrugated walls and roofs? Or should I accept a dumbed down version of corrugated walls and roofs which would be a line pattern rather than the corrugated pattern built in 3d?

Curtain panel families only work for rectangular shape.  Create your curtain wall type using vertical millions for corrugated flutes and empty system panels.  

Another way if you insist on using custom panels is oversized your curtain wall, keep all panels rectanglular, then use SOLID mass to cut them to match roofs and to cut opening.l in the panels.

I made the mullion and it seems to work great except it makes this odd offset mullion when I edit the profile of the curtain wall for openings.

What's happening is that Border Mullions are being added automatically.  Delete 'em.

TAB on that mullion, unpin, and DEL.

Sorry I should have mentioned I tried that and the unpin is greyed out. I've tried clicking on it anyway since other functions sometimes are greyed out incorrectly and work but not here. Also Revit appears to have made a new mullion type as its added "2" next to the original mullion name to this piece.

Can someone please help - I've attached just the objects in a 10mb model. It's making weird panels I can't delete (first image below) and not cutting the mullion (second image below).

Cut it with an In-Place Solid Mass and then hide the Mass in the View.

Thanks - kind of a pain in the ass though - will have to see how this works with all my openings. Revit 2025 is doing weird stuff

Yes, there is another way of making corrugated walls and roofs, just use basic walls and basic roofs with a family made of void sweep profiles, create them as usual, placing windows and doors, then apply the family void:

I will share the file.

Yea I'm going to need more detailed instructions. I opened your Revit model and can't find any profile that looks like the corrugated wall. 

[vitorbortoncello]

it is invisible, because it is a void:

Just create similar (CS) and adjust in your wall

if you want to change the profile open the family, it looks like this:

Can you or someone else link me a tutorial of making something like this? Ok I figured out you have to go to in place mass and apply this family to the wall at the corner to apply it
