glass facade with bevel

Hey everyone,

I have a facade made of glass and want to cut the glass with bevel (don't know if this expression is correct).

Therefore I first put a wall, changed it to facade and than put a grid on this. In the corner I removed the post. Now the two glasses come together randomly and not as I want. Does anybody know how to put them together with bevel?

I attache some screenshots.

Hopefully there is someone who can help me.

By "bevel", I assume you want the two glass curtain panels to "butt" join at the corner without a mullion. 

 

Here is a video by the Revit Kid which explains how to do this to approximate the junction at 3m40s:

Curtain wall corners in Revit

A second possibility is to replace the curtain panel family by a wall family that approximates the thickness and glass material with the disadvantage of not scheduling the same as the other panels. Here is a link to the blog description:

Revit Tip – Mitring Curtain Panels on Curtain Wall Systems

If you need an angled corner mullion on the inside, that is another problem all together. If so, please clarify the desired result with a sketch or image capture of the built condition in your reply.

 

Hope these help,

Create a basic wall type the same thickness and material as the glass panel, then select the two corner panels and change them to this wall type.
