Hi fellas!

We need to create a curtain grid that follows a tilted beam, how can we achieve this? (red line)

Not applicable

You can edit the profile of the top of the curtain wall to have a sloping top.  The mullion will follow this.

The wall will continue above the affected mullion. This one isn't the last outlining one.

Two curtain walls, edit top for one, bottom the other.

Do you mean that we should place one curtain wall on top of the other and remove the bottom profile?

Actually, you can try one curtain wall, edit profile to remove the slanted band, so that you have two closed boundaries, one below, one above the beam.

If that doesn't work, you can copy paste in place the same curtain wall, edit profile one to create the part below the beam, edit the other to create the part above the beam.

Thanks, will try this workaround. 
...I guess that Revit doesn't have the ability to rotate a single mullion then? That is a big flaw in my eyes, since it's very common.
