Curtain wall - Offset panel made from wall

[jvpantin2]

Hi, my question: is there a way to offset a panel made from basic wall from CW axis line? Curtain panels have an offset parameter, but basic walls are needed in this case. Really I'm using CW instead of raillings (well known its limitations), and picking reference lines placed at wall finish faces, that's why I don't want to do the obvious wall offset. Any idea?

Try offset the panel first then change it to the wall type.

Clever idea, it didn't work, but lead to discover this instance parameter which is displayed by tab-selecting wall from CW:

Not what is precised, but it's something...

Why doesn't the Location Line Offset work for you?  

[jvpantin2]

BC a type parameter should be better in this case. It's a project in an early stage of design and we probably must change this later, we're trying to avoid doing so instance by instance. AFAIK Location Line Offset parameter can't be scheduled, it would help...

[barthbradley]

Select ALL instances then.  You could even create and add to a Selection Set Filter.  No good? 

...this is about Scheduling the offset as well?  You want the panels to make coffee too?  Kidding.  I've never Scheduled Panel offset before.  I don't know what value that info would be.  I can see how it would be in Fabrication though.

Create a wall type just for panels, select all instance in project and change location offset.

Hahaha, sorry, it's a bad habit I have to overelaborate things and also entertain tidy people like you. Just joking.
