Curtain wall panel nested void form stretching issues

Hi there,
i created a corrugated profile in the curtainwall panel family with nested void form and instance parameters so then I can change the void size and position in the project. Bu the stretch lines doesn't respond. They appear but are not responsive. All reference planes I created with dims are instance and not locked.

All parameters seem to be functioning properly.

  1. Tab select the panel
  2. Edit values in properties palette
  3. You wont be able to change values using the shape handles. (not when it is a CW Panel) note: while you have not locked the parameters, the width and Height of the panel itself are locked  / driven by the grids of the curtain wall)

I'm betting you are siding your structure with corrugated aluminum panels and cutting openings for windows and doors and what not.   Another approach would be to model the individual ribs as Mullions (instead of Panels) in a Curtain Wall System and apply the Curtain Wall System to Mass surfaces that have all the openings in them.

...Just an FYI: if you haven't discovered it already, be aware that custom Curtain Panels don't work the way Systems Panels do.
