Glass divided on corner

I have extruded a sloped glazing and the finished glass tend to separate on the corner. I think what causes this is it is allotting a space for a mullion? I need this to be continuous, system panel family and the overall curtain wall properties is shown

That is going to be an expensive piece of glass. Fabrication, shipping, and labor to install it will be quite costly if it's one single piece.

I don't believe a curtain wall panel will make that change in planes without a break in the glazing panes.

yes that is true but they only have to touch each other, not as 1 whole piece of glass

...if you need it to be continuous, use a basic roof of the same thickness and material as the sloped glazing.

You can change the offset of the panel to 0 and adjust the mullion offset instead.xxx001.PNG

oh I understand now!  the panel is created parallel on the extrusion lines because it's being offset, but it does not automatically join and is only projected perpendicularly.  I put the offset to 0 and it's ok now

Yes, that exactly what I was pointing out in my screenshot above.  I figured the picture was worth a thousand words. TAB-Select the individual Panels and use can adjust each Instances "Extrusion Start" and "Extrusion End" Properties.
