CURTAIN WALLS REVERTING WHEN MOVED

Can someone explain why a curtain wall (whether it's a panel, panels or a door) reverts to some other configutation when moved?? This effectively makes it un-editable, efficiently anyway. It has to be done perfectly the first time or it has to be redone. Irritating as hell! Come on Autodesk!!

Can you explain what you mean by 'reverts to some other configutation when moved'?  

 

If you move the whole wall nothing should change...

Mullions and panels move or are added. Very frustrating and time consuming because it means deleting and re-doing.

You just move or edit the grid lines. Sometimes these can be tricky to select so temporarily hiding the mullions can help. Once selected you can use the temporary dims to locate them.

There shouldn't be any need to delete and recreate unless the wall is very complex and something has got broken..

This is still a problem in Revit 2021. Even though I've Duplicated the Storefront and made my configuration changes, if I move it at all, it adds in the original number of vertical and horizontal mullions and I have to erase them to get my configuration back. The same thing happens if I try to pin the mullions or panels after changing them to what I need. Storefront seems like a very buggy component.

This is you have a grid line set every certain number of feet or to be divided by a certain number (In curtain wall type properties), and on top of this you are adding custom spaced mullions. What I recommend is creating a new curtain wall type without any grid lines in the type properties and then manually add your grid lines & mullions .... orrrr follow the set of rules set in your curtain wall type properties

 

For example if your CW (curtain wall) is 20' long and you have vertical mullions dividing it into 4 equal parts, then spacing is 5'. so lets say you shorten that wall to 16', then vertical spacing will become 4' and your elevation will get messed up

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

I'm real new at this, but that did help in that I started with the storefront being constrained by Vertical/Hortizontal Grid/Layout/Fixed Number which is what I used to get my desired configuration, but then after setting them where I wanted, I went back and changed the method to "None" so it had nothing to default to. Feels like a workaround still, but it does seem to keep them from reverting to a default.

 

Why is it that saving this as a duplicate doesn't keep the configuration in the event I need to place it elsewhere? I'm working with an old building that doesn't have a lot of the same frame elevations, but I can see how I'd need multiples of the same configuration it'd make more sense to be able to use the same type. Do I have to make new families for each frame elevation to save them?

The only solution for this is to build your curtain wall from scratch. use Empty curtain wall and then add your grids, mullions, and panels manually. do not use the ready types from revit and edit on them.
