Corner Mullion join profiles

Anonymous
Not applicable

For the corner condition of an interior curtain wall storefront as drawn on the attached PDF, I have tried to find a mullion shape that can fill the triangular space between the two end mullions.   Shown there now are to lines to imply a break metal between the two mullions, but I wonder if there is somewhere in the Revit Library 2020 a parametric shape that can fill the space and that can go to the desired height of the storefront (in this case 9 feet). 

My library for mullions is limited and the shape appears  not to be included with the Revit Vanilla inclusions.

Where can I find a mullion shape that can serve these corner conditions? 

Or a "break metal" parametric Revit shape, if available, and which might serve the same purpose.

(Odd enough, that vanilla shape mullion offerings apparently does not include one mullion for these conditions, and that seems odd since these happens often in a building.  Seems that as Revit is getting more complex to work with, the vanilla program itself is providing less and less content?).

Thanks in advance.

It would be impossible for them to predict what type and shape of profiles one intends to use on a project. Besides, most major CW manufacturers provide revit families for their products which one can download (example: I know Schuco/Kawneer and Pilkington has something on their websites 

 

OR you can model them yourself...not that hard to do, quite easy actually....Below is a youtube from @dzanta 's youtube channel showcasing how to create custom mullion (takes ca. 5min of your time to watch and 2 mins to model that corner mullion you need)

This is the Mullion Family you are looking for in your Project Browser. If no L-Corner Mullion Types exist in your current Project, chances are they got deleted by accident.  Right-click on "L-Corner Mullion" in the Project Browser, and press "New Type" to create one.

FWIW: as with anything in Revit, to replace one Family Type with another, all you need to do is select the one you want to replace and then pick a different one from the Properties drop-down preview selector.  So simple, even a cave man could do it.   Simpler than Geico; for sure.  😉
