Curtain System Mass face orientation

Hello,

 

Cannot seem to find what is going on with the Mass and Curtain System associativity.

 

Curtain Panels.pngMass faces with grips.pngGrips and Curtain Panels.png

Trying to create a Curtain System using custom Curtain Panels with Offset parameter. Positive will generate outward panels and inward panels. Seems to happen when Mass face has a grip on it. Not sure what else might be going on.

 

A couple of questions.

 

1. Why is it that the grip only shows in a couple of faces and not all?

2. How can we make all Mass faces orientation the same so that a workable Curtain System and Curtain Panels can be used?

 

File attached.

 

 

 

Many thanks.

I understand you have questions on creating curtain systmes with parameters from a MASS face in Revit 2015. Please see my comments below.

My comments: I tested and the Number in Grid 1 and 2 is not working as expected. Also, I'm not sure how you got to this point, its not clear what your workflow was.

 

You said: 1. Why is it that the grip only shows in a couple of faces and not all?

 

My comments: Again, I'm not sure on your workflow or what your image is referring too.

My comments: Again, I'm not sure on your workflow or what your mean by the above question. 

 

 

Here's a link I mailed out before on offsets.
