We can create families that are two-level based using the "Generic Model two level based.rft" family template, which we are using to build wood-framed slat walls for crawl spaces and garages. We like the two-level based family for this application because the slat walls adjust automatically when we adjust the level elevations, either the base or the top. They look like this:
As you can see, we are modeling the framing, and the cladding with varying patterns possible created via arrays that populate as the wall changes size. This is because all of this framing and cladding is exposed in the model presentation.
This works great up until the point where we want to place that slat wall within a masonry wall opening. I can't find a way to build a wall opening family that is two-level based. Am I missing something?
I have tried these options:
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
Why have you dismissed using Curtain Walls for this? Give me a specific example of how Curtain Walls don't work for you. Maybe I'll have a solution for you.
This is as close as I got to replicating this with a curtain wall:
The mullions always intersect each other even if they are out of plane and note actually touching. No way to create a pattern with different size cladding boards either - for example alternating 5.5" wide and 1.5" wide boards.
It's a wood framed stud wall with wood cladding attached to the exterior side of the framing.
Curtain Walls and Beam Systems in Project:
Fully Parametric:
Openings (sizing can be parametrically controlled as well):
I think I see what you're doing. You're using three different systems to create a single latticed wall right? A curtain wall and two different beam systems within the project environment?
That would work, but I wont be able to control the finish wrapping of the masonry wall into the opening created by the curtain wall. And it will get cumbersome in the model to place all of these... I think I might have to stick with my original workaround of using a single two-level based family with hidden extrusions that can be joined and locked to the wall so they appear like an opening.

I didn't know we were talking about "finish wrapping of the masonry wall". Show me the construction/condition and I'll show you how to do it.
