Hello all,
I cannot seem to get these sliding curtain wall doors to be equally aligned. (To have the center stile in the center of the panel).
I have locked the equal constraints as seen in the picture, and also aligned the doors to the outside.
How can I align it as desired?
Thank you!
Interesting. I can't figure out what's going on here. My suggestion would be to create a new one from a new template (don't use this one), or just download one.
I messed with it a bit. Got it to work finally. Try unpinning the Centerline in Elevation and flex it in width to break whatever constraint is that you have there.
...Let me know if that does the trick. I did some other stuff too, but it may not beneccessary to duplicate that work. Oh! and unlock the EQs.
The centerline in the family if off origin. It's a known issue from the family template. See similar thread here:
Interesting. Still don't quite get it, though. But, I did take note of the suggestion by @Kimtaurus: "Start from the curtain wall panel template and change the category to doors."
You can test it yourself by copy the center L/R reference plane from a OOTB curtainwall door sample family and paste on to a new family started from the curtainwall door template and see the offset. The OOTB sample family is correct, the OOTB family template is wrong.
haha you are right it is not officially "known" and acknowledged, just among a circle few who care.
ToanDN - So it would appear I'm having a similar problem with the families I'm working on for this curtain wall. But when I went to start over with the Curtainwall Panel Family, I noticed that instead of calling it's X-Axis (Center (Front/Back). It is just calling it Front. Now I'm basically scared to even try to do anything. I spent almost a whole day basically wasted on families that don't work because of apparently template bull****.
Please see my attached family.
Had the same issue, unchecked "define origin" on the center ref. plan, unpinned it, moved it, place equal dims back on it, then check "define origin" again. worked.
This worked perfectly for me, thank you. Was the last step getting in the way of my simplified sliding door family. I've been getting tired of downloading BIM files from manufacturers that are so bloated with parameters and then don't function correctly when upgraded to a new versions. I'm in the long-haul of creating simplified families for our office use and it's little things like this that waste the most time. ![]()
