Glass not divided by mullions

Is it possible to make a curtain wall with mullions not dividing the glass panel?

Not at first glance. I tried setting the offset of the mullion away
from the glass, but the glass still broke at the grid.

Try putting two walls next to each other. One would be the glass with your
butt glazing. The other would be a grid of mullions with no glass.

Any particular reason for this?

Well, in this case there would be a lattice and a glass wall. Anyway, two curtain walls will do just fine, one for the glass part and one for the lattice.

Maybe what i have been trying out, would help you. We generally need the two Glass Panels touching edge to edge, and the mullion is normally behind this joint. For this, if the Mullion Profile is about 50mm in width, we keep the Curtain Panel, 25 mm beyond the reference planes in the Curtain Panel Family. This way, since the mullion cuts the curtain panel, now it exactly seems joined to each other.

Look at the image attached below.

Do you have any photos of this application in use?

I dont have any pics handy to show u. But most Curtain glazing, better known here as Structural Glazing, follows this norm of the Structural part(Mullion) behind the glass. Though obviously the two surfaces of glass are separated with some rubber lining or similar material to avoid water seepage. The idea is to see a clean glass surface. Its widely used now.
