Curtain wall with glass and louver

[hliS658H]

Is it possible to make a curtain wall as one object but including both glass and louver like below?

Yes.  Just change some curtain panels to a louver curtain wall type.

It is possible. All you have to do is create curtainwall with hosting another curtainwall. In the last portion, you replace the top with louver and bottom with window wall. See attached

Thanks, this is an easy solution.

I am trying to make a graphic filter for this louver, but don't know why it doesn't work.

Assign the filter to Walls category, not Curtain System.  Or assign it to Curtain Wall Mullions category and use the Louver Blade Curtain Mullion type as the criteria.

Just curious, what are you going to do with that filter?

Really appreciate your input. It is a way to create combination of glass panel and louver panel, but it consists of many individual curtain walls; also there are double mullions. To me, this modeling method is not straightforward, perhaps it would make more sense for a more complicated configuration.

Curtain Wall Mullions category and Lover Blade curtain mullion type works.

Just wonder if I use Wall, how to make it work - to make the blades half tone? The louver panel has too many lines and looks very dark when print.

That's why I asked what the filter is for.  If you want to override graphic the blades (which are mullions) then filter by Walls does not work.
