Hey all,
Can you help me find which is the best way to make a wooden strips wall, in front of an existing wall?
I'm trying to make it as a curtain wall, but I don't know how to "delete" the panels between the mullions.
Thanks all,
Vera

Curtain walls are a definite possibility. But you can not delete the panels in a curtain wall. Deleting is basically placing an empty panel
You can do a window or crossing selection. With use of the filter button you can deselect everything that is not a curtain panel. Now with only the curtain panels selected you can replace the current curtain panel with a different (wooden strips) panel.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
I would not use the panels for your wood strips. I would use the mullions.
1. Create a curtain wall.
2. Select it.
3. Edit Type.
4. Change the Construction parameter "Curtain Panel" to "Empty System Panel: Empty".
5. Change the Construction parameter "Join Condition" to "Vertical Grid Continuous".
6. Change the Vertical Grid parameter "Layout" to "Fixed Distance".
7. Change the Vertical Grid parameter "Spacing" to whatever value is appropriate for your wood strips.
8. Change the Horizontal Grid parameter "Layout" to "None".
9. Change all three Vertical Mullions parameters to your wood strip family.
10. Change all three Horizontal Mullions parameters to "None".
Note: You may get a warning after you click okay, telling you that some type driven grid lines will be deleted because you've changed the type. That's fine. Just click to delete the grid lines. They're the horizontal ones you don't need.
Note: Number 9 assumes you know how to modify an existing mullion or create a new mullion to represent your wood strip and load it into your project. If you haven't done that yet, you can just select one of the default mullion types. In this picture I've left them on the default type and applied a 6" vertical spacing...
Good luck,

Alternatively you could use parts with gap or slanted ie, but cw mullions will work also can assign a profile to those. Schedulable also etc.
Yes you could. You COULD model a curtain wall Mass with a repeater, or use several other methods too.
But in general, for typical cases, I think the cw mullion is the easiest and most versatile.
Well I suppose you could model them in-place also... very curious to the 'several other methods' now though... let's do all the options and review, pro's con's.. things like that.
Well... maybe I should have said a few other methods? They involve stupidity, like modeling a curtain wall panel family with some fixed number of strips within it, and then using it in a curtain wall with no mullions, or how about modeling a single strip as a pipe fitting, putting one every six inches along a pipe, then hiding the pipe category from the view, etc. In light of how good the mullion method works, I don't think many of the other possibilities are even worth doing pros/cons on.
If you're looking to adjust the mullions, select/edit the mullion type and set material under materials and finishes. In case you're using parts you can edit the original wall type or override the parts material. If you're doing design options you might want to consider using parts anyway.
