Curtain wall joining to roof issue

[roscopeco2000]

Hello I am trying to get a curtain wall system to join to a roof but its not working i have tried using the edit profile setting but get the same issue. I get translucent grid come up but it will not cut the panels to an angle.any ideas thanks?

Select the curtain wall, and then Modify>>Attach Top / Base. Then select the roof.

All else failing, please share a file.

Custom panels will not cut it, only rectangle shape You need to either model odd shaped panels in place or family with void, or using adaptive family.

Is this a 2018 file? Rats. I only have 2017!

ok makes sense but this is a kingspan model i would have thought they would have modelled it with that in mind. What about if i did a cut on the wall panels to cut the angle in?

yes 2018 time for an upgrade 🙂

You can try but I think you will have a hard time cover different angles and dimensions. Other options are using curtain mullions, or a beam system. Basically each mullion or beam is a rib.

its a shame the kingspan panels are not set up to be adaptive as you mentioned there're a big company i would of hoped they would..

Make a normal wall where the curtain wall should be, attach it to the roof, than change the type to curtain wall
