How to Overlap L-Corner Angles With Adjacent Curtain Wall Panels

Hey Forums,

 

I am building a custom curtain wall and need some aluminum angles in the corners. usually they have an angle of either 90° or 45°. I've tried using the preinstalled L-Corner Mullions, which do ~ 85% of the work.

 

My problem is, that the angles have to overlap the adjacent glass panels by 20 mm. See the screenshot, please.

 

How would I achieve this?

If I have to model the whole thing it's fine, I just need to be pushed in the right direction as I am pretty new to Revit and I don't know what temnplate to use for a new family of coner angles.

 

Thanks in advance!

If you use a system panel (glazed or solid), then you can simply click on the panel, edit in place, and offset the edge 20 mm toward the corner mullion.

Or create a custom panel family that is 20 mm wider than normal.

...maybe build a custom panel for corners that includes the angle?

Duh. Shape editing the Panel. Completely slipped my mind. Nice one, @ToanDN

Dear @ToanDN,

thanks for your suggestions. find my comments below:

 

1. To edit every corner wouldn't be nice to work with, as there are usually a lot of corners in my projects. Your suggestion works, but it's to tedious.

 

2. I followed your suggestion and created a family where the glass panels overlap by 20mm. for the corners it's working fine, BUT now I got a problem in the middle of the wall for all the other panels.

I attached some screenshots of the problem again and how it should be.

 

Is it possible to put an "overlap"-parameter in the corner profile family somehow?

 

Best regards,

Gordon

Only change the corner panels to the custum type, the rest shall remain as is. To do it, tab select, unpin, and change type from properties. You need two custom types for left and right conditions.

Okay, thanks. This actually works. But is this the normal workflow for this kind of thing? Because I have to touch every single corner panel. In a room with 4 corners this makes 8 panels that I have to change manually.

 

Do you know if there's a way of designing the L-corner angle to have the overlap automatically?

I will still choose your last answer as the solution, as this is working really well!

 

Thank you very much for your help. It's much appreciated!

I don't know how to automate that but selecting all panels along a corner is easy. Just tab select one, right click and choose select all along grid or something like that, or select using window and filter out other items, then change type.
