Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a Honda dealership, and on their standard face they have a curved vestibule with two large storefront systems. On these storefront systems the top corners are curved. I can't seem to find anyway to model this correctly on a curved wall ( On a straight wall this is easy cause the you can just edit the profile). Any help would be nice.
Thank you,
Chris
Curtain system on a mass face will work if you use a void in the cylindrical mass to "cut" the shape out. Here is a quick example that i took about 3 minutes to make.
You will NOT ever get a true curved mullion. You will always get some kind of faceted thing approximating a curve. If you need a true curved mullion, you are going to have to manually build that and it will not be a "curtain wall".
I have attached a Screen cast showing how to use an in-place void to "cut" an opening in an arc shaped wall.
Awww.... crap my screen cast did not come through.
You could do in-place family for everything. However if you want to create using Revit system family, use the roof extrusion. Create a wall with glass thickness and attach it to the roof. Next use in-place family and choose the 3d edge to pick the edge of the wall.
I finally go the mullions to model correctly using mass face, but now that it's a system family it won't let me embed it in the wall. Currently my old curtain system is hidden underneath and that's what is creating the opening.
