We are using the curtain wall tool to create timber cladding, a method common on YouTube tutorials. We are trying to add the vertical battens behind the horizontal cladding which would be a real benefit for rendering and detailing.
However, even if the vertical battens do not touch the horizontal cladding boards (mullions), one will cut the other, depending on the 'Join Condition' parameter in the curtain walling family.
Is there a way to have both continuous horizontal and vertical mullions? i.e. how do you create horizontal and vertical mullions in a single curtain walling family that do not cut each other? The workaround is to make two separate families but this has obvious drawbacks. The other option is forming the cladding boards as a panel but this messes with the setting out.
Screenshots and a simple model file are attached, I hope someone can help!
Thanks
