Curved Mullions in R2018

[Anonymous]

Hello

In real life curtain wall mullion and glass can be curved.  Revit resists this basic truth.  I have been able to model the walls and glazing to be curved in past versions.  I haven't had to do it since Revit 2009.  I cannot remember all the little things to adjust to get both the glazing and mullions to be curved.  I have the Glazing curved but the mullions are still resisting.  (See Image below.)  What do I need to do to get the mullions to curve with the rest of the system?  I am creating these walls as part of a curtain system applied to a mass.  This is in Revit 2018.

How can I get the mullions to curve with the glazing?

Thank You

best solution would be a adaptive family. 

it is a bit of work, but I think it should work with the mass you showed in the Picture.

other solution would be to make round generic component that you can place at the curve, problem with that is it isn't a curtain wall as well a separate component. 

here is a link with the same problem (only other form)

it this is the solution, please give Kudo and accept this as a solution.

Possible workaround - model the mullions as an in place Sweep?

I finally found my old script form when I did it in Revit 2009.  I forgot that I included the horizontal faceted mullion in the panel family so that they would be curved.  The glass was also custom made from a generic material, detailed to look like glass, so it would curve as well.

Hi, 

You can have a play with my files. I posted links etc on an old linkedin post https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:groupPost:68075-6188655286744547330/
