Select your curtain wall and adjust the angle of your grid:

Maybe I don't understand your question, but if you want to make a slanted curtain wall. Create a mass of the volume you indicate as yellow and apply a curtain wall to it.

are you meaning that you want to slope your Curtain Wall?  Apply Curtain Wall System to Mass Faces which are sloped.

Hi @Avaris.

 

Thanks for sharing your model.

Curtain system from a mass is the way to go, but I'm looking for more feedback from the team.

 

Also, are you looking to match the shipping container material onto the mass?

 

Thanks,

So you know how to apply a CWS to a mass face -- you just don't know how to create a mass. Is that correct? 

 

 

...here's a starter video. Other more advanced ones are also available on-line.

It looks challenging, but not intimidating.  The key is WORKPLANES.  If you saw the video I posted,  this was addressed at the very beginning.  Did you notice his very first issue? He didn't have the correct Workplane set current.

If I am understanding correctly, you cannot create the mass for the curtain system.

I opened your project and the mass seems to be an extruded triangle, it's just from the side, not from the plan.

 

Here is a screencast with instructions to create it:
