Hello
I am working on a Curtain Wall that has butt joint mullions. Where the bulk of the mullion is behind the glass. The work point of the various parts of the system vary in location. Body area, corners, overhead openings, and a variety of special conditions. I know some panels will just have to be custom. I am making this model for the manufacturer. It needs to be totally accurate.
I want to have the panels encroach on the mullion area, so they meet at the distances required. I have made some custom panels that work perfectly in most places. But in other places Revit says the panels wont work. The system panels work but not my custom panels, at those locations. I modeled the panels 2 different ways. Both ways have worked with the same panels being excluded.
Can we edit the system curtain panel to be adjustable on the perimeter?
If not, What is the most likely problem with my panel, that makes it not work in some cases?
Thanks

Yes. You can unpin a system panel and Edit In place.
-The possible problem with your custom curtain panels is likely something to do with Reference Planes and dimensions/locks/constraints, etc. A bit hard to tell without any images or model to look at.
-Possible helpful tip:
You can edit panels in-place--a somewhat "unknown feature".
Thanks for the reminder. I have made those adjustments many times. I'm trying to find a easy way to adjust a hundred at one time. For instance, the bottom or top of the building has a deeper glass bite on the interior edge. It should take the same adjustable panel that I made for the other areas. Then I could just change that parameter. But Revit will only let me use system panel in those areas.
I could adjust them one at a time as you demonstrate. It works, so Kudos on that. But I would rather be able to have them all go in and be adjustable with a family that works. (Top Panel, Bottom Panel...)
Thanks

When You say "Edited System panels", do you mean as you demonstrated in your previous comment or is there some other way to edit a system panel?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge

New type of issue on this is that some of the panel that will only use system panels are adjacent to Cut openings. Does it make a difference if the curtain wall openings are "profile edits or if they used a "cut opening?"
Thanks

I don't think it makes any difference.
See Images below. It won't even let me edit a system panel without starting from scratch.
Not sure what is going on there. I can make a system panel any shape and it is still accepted. Can you share a file?
