Hello!

I did it in order to connecte easier curtain wall with floors. Wall panel in blue here:

Use a curtain wall and change panels to basic wall (no mullions) and the upstand below your glass curtain wall will be segmented accordingly 

 

You can either

  1. use the same curtain wall (ie: add a horizontal grid >> delete mullions and change panel
  2. Or use 2 stacked curtain walls

Maybe Curtain Wall is not the best approach here.  Maybe making the curved Glass as a Basic Wall Type and the using 3D curved Beams for Mullions would get you a more aesthetically pleasing look?

Thanks for your answear . I have plenty of cutains walls on 4 levels so I was serching for a solution that alows me to keep all elements together. I tried already seperating curtain wall and the wall base but it means tracing inclination of every single panel.
Solution 1 is what you can see above but instead of panel there is a wall (this is a part of curtain wall). I don't want to use panel doesn't connecte with floor so I can't cut them.

I dont know if I expleined my problem well here. What I am looking for is how to make a wall to follow  the panels (which means no to curved like it is now)

 

Wall in blue 1. and panel 2

  1. Offset the Curtain wall from base >> Add a Basic Wall below >>> Use Inscribed Polygon
    • Wall Curtain.gif
  2. Alternative...instead of wall use Either a Custom Panel or a Mullion with concrete Finish 
    • Wall Curtain1.gif
  3. Or if you are adventurous, you can use dynamo to place walls aligned to the Panels

Hello. Thanks for your message and awsome videos!❤️

Syteme panels do not allow unfortunetly multiply layers as I need. It would work perfectly with simple concrete wall. 

I just have to accepte some limitations of Revit and go for normal wall tool propably.

Thanks again.

Cheers

It is not a system panel...It is a custom panel and you can add to it as many layers as you wish
