Hello,
I found this article in autodesk knowledge base:
Create a Curtain Wall From an Elevation Sketch
Can somebody explain how to:
"Right-click a curtain wall tool, and click Apply Properties to Elevation Sketch."
What I am trying to do is to create a curtain wall grid from lines.
In order to click on "Curtain Wall", I need to click on "Wall:Architecture" first. But I can not click on "Wall: Architecture" at all, as it does not work, when I am in the elevation view.
Does that mean that the upper article from the autodesk knowledge base is not valid any more?
I have Revit 2019.

Thank you ToanDN!
So it is not possible to create the curtain grid from lines in Revit?
Hi
Use Curtain Grids..Heres the screenshot and Screencast for your reference..
Curtain Wall ..Curtain Grids, Add / Remove segments.
Hi @Corsten.Au ,
Thank you for the reply.
But I am not sure I understand it. You are manually drawing the curtain grid. There is no way in Revit to just select the detail lines that you drew and create a curtain grids from them?
Is it possible that AutoCAD Architecture has this option, but Revit does not???
I don't think Revit can automatically detect and create those curtain grids....
Revit is still evolving as such...
Keep that AutoCAD file as a reference, Import / Link in Revit, Use those lines to " PICK UP " the curtain
grid to get exact location.. Like Tracing on it...
But because Grid lines are continuous in Revit, Those single Add / Remove needs to be done Manually..
Many Parameters in Curtain Wall which needs direction..
and those directions would be missing from AutoCAD File
For example
1. Curtain Wall type
2. Curtain Panel Type
3. Embedded Curtain wall or not
4. Construction type - Interiors, Exterior
5. Mullion Types a. Border b. Internal. c. Horizontal c. Vertical
6. If Curtain Grids are at an angle ( not 0, and not 90 deg ), then you cannot use Curtain Wall to create them..
Many missing input information from AutoCAD to Guide Revit.... hope you know where it's going..
Cheers.
Hi @Corsten.Au ,
Thank you once again for the detailed reply!
Is it possible to get the video of the following step:
"Keep that AutoCAD file as a reference, Import / Link in Revit, Use those lines to " PICK UP " the curtain
grid to get exact location.. Like Tracing on it...
But because Grid lines are continuous in Revit, Those single Add / Remove needs to be done Manually.."
I would be very grateful for that, and essentially it would be the solution to my question.
Heres the Screencast for you
Might take few mins to show up... still uploading and processing..
Thank you @Corsten.Au ,
Why am I not able to snap directly to the cad line? It seems as Revit just snaps at 1000 milimeters distances:
1. Create a curtain grid ( any where , vertical or horizontal )
2. Select that grid ( use tab ) and then move .. or use align ...
Type properties of curtain wall

While snapping or picking the edge using curtain grid.. it picks the point on curtain wall... it’s has nothing to do with CAD...
CAD reference is helpful only while aligning the grid later...
hope that helps
being a beginning to get hands on
1. Curtain wall
2. Curtain wall grids, million, fixed distance, fixed number, vertical continuous, horizontal continuous..
3. Curtain panel, embedded wall
etc
there are atleast 30 odd parameters and characteristics of curtain wall to learn before getting it right. I don’t think I can cover that for you.. hope you will learn that from YouTube or get someone local to teach ..
cheers
Hi @Corsten.Au ,
My apologies for that last reply of mine.
I haven't seen your video upload.
You truly helped me with this, and solved my issue!
Thank you once again!
