How can I create such a window?

@ahmetarmagan135 

You can create a mass >> divided into a custom pattern >> and use curtain system

[ahmetarmagan135]

I don't understand how to draw massing lines. Can you send an image for me? step by step

@ahmetarmagan135 

1. make a vertical surface

2. Place a ref plane parallel to it call it say (Canvas)

3. draw reference line to make the pattern you want on the Canvas plane 

4. Divide the surface u created in 1 and switch off the grids

5. Use intersects and select the ref line then click finish

I remember I have a screencast on this let me look it up and upload

[ahmetarmagan135]

ohh thank you very very much. so how do i turn these lines into a curtain wall?

[RDAOU]

@ahmetarmagan135 .

Hmmm...several ways, Ideally you would/could use use adaptive components

If this is too much and you cannot work with adaptive components...An easier way would be to model each wall span as a Curtain Panel and sweep/extrude the mullions as part of the Curtain Panel family. The use those panels on a curtain wall without the system mullions

[ahmetarmagan135]

do you have a video about it? I searched a lot but couldn't find

[syman2000]

It is doable with curtainwall. You have to understand how to host Curtainwall with nested curtainwall to achieve the effect you want.

[ahmetarmagan135]

wonderful. this is exactly what i want. I am using revit 2017, I could not open the file. Is there a video that can help?

@syman2000 

Creative and practical, but are you aware that nested curtain walls do not function well with phasing?

[syman2000 · Accepted solution]

It should be easy to setup. All you need to do is change the angle of grid.

Next you select part of the curtainwall panel with curtainwall and then you add grids

@RDAOUi am aware of the shortcoming with curtainwall

[ahmetarmagan135]

This way I can only use one angle. but i need more than one angle

i am waiting for help

This is based on @RDAOU approach.

[syman2000]

Yup...this is why you select the panel and switch it to curtainwall. This way you have panel that can create new panel with new angle. See sample for 2017 version. It should let you understand how I was able to achieve multi-angle mullion. Every time you want change angle, you have to swap panel with curtainwall and then add new grid with angle.

@ahmetarmagan135 

The pattern based and/or adaptive component method which @ToanDN casted remains the better option...here below is a simple method using a normal curtain wall panel. This method requires that you model the Wall to same same ratio/proportion (otherwise you will need to add more planes and parameters to constrain the irregular grid)

You should be able now with all the above methods to model that curtain wall
