Corrugated metal curtain panel will not stretch

Hi, 

 

I am trying to create a new wall profile and I have followed the steps in this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdX7yHQIIYQ) Yet my family does not populate itself properly when I stretch it. The profile tends to stay in the middle and ends. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong here? I have attached my family and the snippet of the wall where you can see that it's stretching it wrong. 

I have even simplified the profile panel and it's still not stretching correctly.

 

Thanks in advance.

Height seems to adjust fine for me.

 

Do you realize it deforms when its width it greater than 3000mm?

A better way to do this would be to make the Curtain Panel 1 RIB wide (341 mm) and then set your Curtain Wall's Vertical Grid Spacing to 341 mm FIXED DISTANCE.  The way you have it right now, the Vertical Grid Spacing needs to be 3000 mm FIXED DISTANCE.

@barthbradley Yes, that is what I meant, it deforms when I stretch it's width. Not sure why though or how to fix it because in the video it just self populated just nicely.

the 3000mm wide Multi-Ribbed Panel will work too. You just need to set the Curtain Wall Vertical Spacing to 3000mm FIXED DISTANCE.  Still, a Single-Ribbed is the best way to do it. Promise.  

 

Good luck and have fun!

@barthbradley  You're a genius, that worked. Thank you so much. So now I have to adjust the fixed distance number to the panel width for different walls if I want to use it like that or create a panel with one rib width and setting the distance to fixed 300.....will that make it stretchable?

Also when you created one rib, did you centre it on the centre ref line or aligned to the side ref line?

 

Thanks! :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

We you unable to open my file?

 

This is how I sketched the extrusion:

I would suggest doing it the same way.  

 

I don't understand your question about "stretching". The Panel Width is FIXED by the Vertical Spacing Distance of the Curtain Wall Type, meaning that a different Panel is placed every 341 mm.  When the Vertical Spacing is LESS than 341 mm, like at the end of the Wall, then the Panel is resized to fit.  Pretty much what the contractor will do in real life.  He'll pull out his metal shears and cut the Panel to fit.   

 

NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE SKETCH LINES ALIGNED AND LOCKED TO THE REF. PLANE ARE STRAIGHT LINES  -- NOT CURVED LINES.
