Create custom quad corner mullion

Revit gives you the posibility to create a Profile-Mullion, it's form is always a "rectangle".

I would like to make a custom quad corner mullion without the standard rough appereance.
I want to put more detail in this mullion as wich in the rectangel profile-mullion. 

If you open the attachment, you will see my issue: two panels meet eachother at the corner, this corner is custom, 0 - 180 degrees.

Is it possible to create a custom quad corner mullion with this level of detail?

Unfortunately, no. Corner mullions are very specific system families, therefore they can't be edited.

 

On the other hand, I think you don't need that level of detail in your 1:100 drawings, you can add this kind of specific things as detail items in call-outs.

Don't be afraid to model this mullion in place.  Once the system mullion is there, use it as a guide to make a custom in place mullion.  You can either make an extrusion that is exactly what you want (Recommended) and then turn off or delete the system mullion. Or just hide the system mullion, once your custom mullion is in place.  The glass changes size based on if the system mullion is hidden or deleted.  So be careful of that.

 

You can also do a sweep if you are going to just hide the system mullion.

 

Extrusions are so easy.  "In-Place" is there for our use.  Don't avoid it.  You could have done the extrusion in 10 minutes. Compare that to how long it has taken to try to make a magic quad corner.  If you are scheduling the mullions just be sure to tell the in-place family what it is.  So it still gets scheduled correctly.

 

Good Luck

I would really advice againt this. Chances are you need multiple of these, copying in-place models is the worst thing you can do. Another way would be to create a custom extrusion family with an adaptable angle.
