Curtain Wall - Mullion Miter

[audi.capellan]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to combine different mullion depth and wanted to have a mitre joint but I can't find any solution that works. Does anyone have a similar experience? I have attached a picture to show the issue for reference.

Hi @audi.capellan, I can't understand the orthogonal image you posted.

how about the first two mullions as shown in your image, seems like connected as you expected. Please post a clear image.

Hi,

I need the bigger mullion to mitre join with the small mullion. Meaning, it  should join a nice corner as attached image.

Hi @audi.capellan

Can you share the file to test further?

From the image, it is not clear what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks,

Also, see the knowledge article - About Mitered Mullions on Curtain Walls

Looking forward to testing your file.

Hi @audi.capellan

Thanks for sharing!

Can you also let me know the version of Revit you use and if your updates are in place?

Hi @audi.capellan

Glad to hear that you have the updates in place.

Here's a quick workaround to 'join' the different mullions

1. Create a mass and pick the top and front faces to generate one curtain system. Add the mullion by picking the grids. Use two rectangle profile but with a different dimension. The created mass will become the 'corner miter' to join the two different mullions

2. Create an in-place component - generic model, select the face of the mullion and create a model by extrusion as shown below:

Let me know if this works for you and if you have additional questions.

Hi Viveka,

Thank you for posting your solution. I have a question: Do I create this mass once and automatically updates all mullions with the same issue? What I hope to achieve is not to do a manual copy and placing this mass to the rest of the mullions that has the same mitre issue.

@audi.capellan, 

Have you tried with corner mullion families? I'm not that much aware of it.

Thanks,

Hi @audi.capellan

I see what you are saying. I wondering if we can do a custom mullion profile (mass+ 2 different mullion depths)_and then load this family in the model.

Hi Viveka, 

Thanks for the suggestions. I will take this as a workaround and was hoping this can be incorporated in the future developments of the curtain wall.
