Divide Surface Glass not forming to shape (Curtain Panel Pattern Based)

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a custom "In Place Mass". Then I divided the surfaces to create a glass roof of sorts. I created a custom Curtain Panel Pattern Based family for this mass and the glass isn't forming to the shape of the form. 

 

Did I not place the glass properly in the Curtain Panel Pattern Based family? I have the mullions down. I just need the glass to flow along with them.

 

Have a look at the attached screenshots!

 

Thanks

If you grab one of the 4 points and drag it, does the glass pane stretch to follow?

All the geometries in the family should be based on the 4 adaptive points in order to flex properly: each green reference line is created from 2 points; the frame is a form from a profile sweep along the reference lines; the glass pane should be created based on the same logic.

So, I deleted the old glass panel, then selected the 4 green reference lines and created a new form, give it Glass material.

Hello,

Based on your description, you have created a custom "In Place Mass" and divided the surfaces to create a glass roof. However, you're encountering an issue where the Curtain Panel Pattern Based family's glass does not conform to the shape of the form.

To troubleshoot the problem, it's possible that the glass placement in the Curtain Panel Pattern Based family needs adjustment. While you mentioned having the mullions set correctly, the glass itself is not flowing along with them.

To provide more specific guidance, examining the attached screenshots you mentioned would be helpful. Please include the screenshots so we can better understand the issue and provide appropriate assistance.

Thank you in advance, and we look forward to reviewing the screenshots to help address the problem.
