how do I create a curtain system with the desired result...

I have this partial conic face:

I created a curtain system on the face and the V grid has a strange skew which I don't want. I am trying to make the V grid vertical.

which is what I get when I create a curtain system from an uncot conic face

I tried dividing the surface and setting a custom rotation for the V grid, guessing at a value that seemed to produce a close result. But I don't know how to use this divided surface to influence the shape of the curtain system.

 

Thanks for any input.

was able to do this pretty easily using Rhino inside Revit.

Not sure if there is a comperable exact function natively.

The solution is to create a slanted wall using a circular sketch curve.

Interestingly i can get an irregular border in one place but can't replicate this on the other edge.

I was able to do this by using an additional "helper" wall that i assign to an invisible workset.

Here's the original original intended result.

Create a mass form based on two curves for top and bottom then create a wall by face.
