Hello All,
I am looking for a "best practices" way of modelling the following curtain wall system outlined in red.
I know I can model it from scratch as a generic window but has anyone tried or been successful in accomplishing this in a previous world?
I am using Revit 2019 so I pretty much have all the tools at my disposal.
Thank you in advance.

awesome question I think in a mass and then curtain panel by face but the curve panel it's impossible to generate by that tool.
How about a curtain panel adaptative family? Take a view in the video how I generate a tridimentional truss adaptative to a divided surface it's working and I guess is easier because you've only panels so you'd put attention in splines to generate the curved glass.
Good luck!

...I'd still opt to do the entire assembly as a Loadable Family with Nested Components. A heck of a lot faster and easier.
Hey guys Look this it's a weird experiment but I think we can create a curtain wall system with curved , slanted and straight panels at the same time and only divide with grid lines, the lateral wall only with edit profile can be created.

Thank you it's a curtain wall simple only have a glass panel for example 4 meters lenght by 3 meters height
Then I've created a panel family that includes the curved glass, slanted glass and straight glass with some parameters BTW the mullions are included too so when you change the complete panel in the simple curtain wall you've only to insert vertical grids to divide it.
the only thing I don't create was the possiblility to insert horizontal grids but you can have a visibilityparameter to increase the horizontals divisions.
Have a good night I hope this will be helpful like the @barthbradley and @ToanDN their solutions are great too.
we found problems for your solutions, or how was it?

How about if I'll share the RFA tomorrow so you can see the experiment it's only a single panel from the base to the height for that you can divide only with vertical grids, the panel was made from a curtain_wall_panel.rfa and in a elevation view I did create the extrusion and in 3d view a pair of sweeps and void forms then I locked the objects to the ref planes and with the same objects I locked to can preserve the widhts, sincerelly I didn't invested to much time because I only had the doubt how to create a curved panel you know so please don't wait for an exceptional family parametric adaptative XD

Here is new video I'm trying to improve it but there are some things to fix, I hope you can see what I do in the video, I don't spoke because I don't speak english very often I'm afraid to speak spanglish, I did attach new panel.rfa. when
