Edge of customized Curtain Panel whit trapezoidal shape

Hi to all,
sorry for my English. I have a problem with creating a curtain wall made of custom panels like that in the picture.

1.JPG

I drew the panel as generic metric model adaptive, as profile and as metric curtain panel.
I've tried to create a trapezoidal facade in different ways:
1. With curtain Wall. Revit replaces the edge panels with system panels. Besides, I can not apply curtain wall in non-vertical facades.

2. With curtain System. Revit replaces the edge panels with system panels and it rotates the grid. I have to rotate the grid manually with angle parameter. It isnt't pratical and accurate.

3. With division of local mass and addition of panel pattern. The edge of panels is not perfectly linear and there is a little offset of the external edge of panels. Besides, Revit rotates the grid.

4. I created a curtain wall in which the panels were a same generic walls. I made the generic wall with an external subtraction (panel profile). This method have the same issues of 1.
5. Now I'm trying to replace the edge panels in Dynamo with particular adaptive panel. This one is made with a boolean subtraction of external elements. The issue is that trapezoidal panels do not maintain the horizontal profile. Revit rotates the grid panel in which the center of rotation is the center of gravity of the panel. I can not avoid this.

does anyone have a solution?

thank you very much

@barthbradley  Yup I bet it is the infamous 2" bug that never gets solved.

 

@Anonymous  How about create the mass 2" short for any angled edges to compensate the overhanging partial panels at these edges?

@barthbradley Yes, the offset measures perfectly 2 inches. 

@ToanDN This one could be an idea. I could create the mass in Dynamo and move the points (edges) of the mass. However I do not like this solution because I need to change the shape of the mass several times. I prefer to have a more versatile facade system. 

For this reason Nowadays I'm proceeding with the second method (Curtain System) and I will replace only the angled panels in Dynamo with adaptive panel.

So the issue is the question five: the rotation of panel's grid.
