Curtain Wall Cladding

[jjjoao2]

Hi everyone,

So, i´m tryng to create a Wood Cladding (attached) with a curtain wall but i can´t find a solution because of the Grids.

 

Can someone help me?

Here´s my disaster result:

What are the grids preventing? Are you trying to get the grids closer together? If so then what are your grid parameter settings?

@KraiggC, i appreciate your response.

Yes, i´m trying to get the grids closer, about 2/3cm. Because my cladding have 2x3cm each.

Below my grid parameter settings:

You can noticed in the attached image. Change your vertical grid to 'Fixed Distance', and your distance to 4cm.. ignore my 4" haha

@KraiggC 

When i put 2 or 3cm, it shows an error:

So, you want the Panels to be in front of the Mullions -- side-by-side, without any spacing between them?  

Post the File.

Reduce the size of your Curtain Wall (and then add one or more Curtain Walls to cover the area you need to have convered).  Based on the error message, there is a limit of 200 grid lines in each direction.  At a 2 cm spacing, your Curtain Wall will have more than 200 grid lines in at least one direction.

Over the limits allowed for grids. I have seen the same error info when I try reduce the grids spacing in 2021.

@David_W_Koch 

Is there a way to remove those grids?

I will try to reduce the panel and get back to you guys.

It didn´t work. Same error.

This is the solution that i want but it doens´t seem to work.

 2cm between them.

 

[barthbradley]

What the spacing between the grids?  Not 2cm.  

Can you post your file? 

[syman2000]

I would create panel with built in array rather than using grid to split apart the panel into smaller segment.

@syman2000,

Thank your for sending your file. For this particular project it worked.

Still i want to understand why it doen´t work with curtain wall.

Have a nice weekend.

The reason it didn't work because you exceeded the maximum number of grids in a curtain wall. One of the posts above already indicated that and suggested to split the curtain wall into shorter segments to overcome the limitation.
