Hi everyone,

 

This issue has really stumped me, I cannot seem to find a solution to this issue.

 

I have set my curtain walls to automatically embed and the join condition is set to border and vertical grid continuos. I want the curtain walls to have a corner mullion but there is a part of the wall that still remains at the corner every time I set my curtain walls and is extremely frustrating lol. If anyone has any information on how this fix this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,


Dan.

You need to edit wall profile and draw lines around the curtain wall.

Frankly, I wouldn't expect it do behave the way you are describing. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the construction you are showing in you screenshots. Can you post the file?

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for all of the replies, I probably didn't explain my issue well enough. I found a solution through YouTube here is the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpEbeiQAPn4 if there is an easier way to do this and you know please let me know. Thanks again for all of the replies.

There isn't any need for edit profile or adding openings or any crazy work around for that.  Curtain walls look to their origin point (green dashed line) to understand where to cut the walls. That origin must lie within the wall, if that line is set back then it will cut the opening at that location.  If that line lies on the face of the wall then it will cut the wall at the face, removing the little portion everyone hates.

I just wrote a blog post on the topic
