I want to make this curtain wall a real curved curtain wall and need to be able to modify the grid and mullions. How should I do that? Tried the curtain system tool and it does not seem like it wants to select anything.
Any help is really appreciated. Thank you
Hi @raysanziaei ,
I believe you have to make a custom, curved curtain panel family.
Which can then be loaded into your project, and select it as the 'Curtain Panel' in your curtain wall.
Here is the result, but the family is behind a paywall (in the video description).

Several ways:
1. Edit the curtain wall type and remove horizontal grid, set horizontal mullion to None, set curtain panel to a basic wall type with glass material. then add curved horizontal mullions using structural frames or in-place model
2. Create an in place mass with curved surface or form; divide the surface; create a curtain panel pattern based family and load it the project and set the divided surface to that family
3. Similar to 2 but create an generic model adaptive, load to the project and place on nodes if the divided surface and use repeater tool to populate it on the enture surface
Easiest and quickest way if to use a curtain wall with vertical Mullions only and the following
Place the wall >>> Add Horizontal grids where the horizontal mullions need to be >>> select 1 Panel, right click and select all along grid >> substitute with a Basic Wall (Material aluminium - Thickness to Match that of vertical mullions)
Downside: If you are scheduling Mullions,
