Curtain wall with diagonal and orthogonal grid system

 

Hello,

I want to model a curtain wall as shown in the attached image.

The wall is vertical but has three curtain grid directions, two angled and one vertical.

(The wall's upper part is attached to a roof, that's the reason for the arced shape of it)

How can I model this curtain wall?

Thanks.

You can embed other curtain wall types for the panels of the main curtain wall so that you can have more than two grid directions.

Or you make a mass...

 

Make a surface on a vertical plane (draw a reference plane in a plan view, set that plane as the work plane, use an elevation view to draw your wall shape out of reference lines, and then select them and click the make form tool)...

 

Make intersecting lines (draw another reference plane in a plan view parallel to the first, set THAT plane as the work plane, use an elevation view to draw all your mullion lines out of reference lines, making sure that they completely cross the surface you already made)

 

Select the surface, Divide it, turn off the U Grid and the V grid of the default pattern that shows up, and instead use the Intersects tool to select the lines you drew on the second, parallel plane. Finish the dividing process.

 

Bingo, they show up on the surface, dividing it. And it's parametric! If you move the reference lines on the second plane, the divisions on the surface move too.

 

Now you can load/insert a panel (from the Curtain Panel - Pattern Based folder) and assign it to your custom divided curtain wall. I imagine you just want a rectangular panel, glazed. Don't worry, the four points of the "rectangular" panel will fit themselves to your divisions. Unless you make any divisions that result in a triangle. In that case, also load/insert a triangular panel and assign it to individual spots as necessary.

 

Then finish the family. Or in-place mass. Whichever you used. Works either way.

 

There are plenty of youtube vids about revit divided surfaces using intersecting lines.
