Make both mullion joins continuous

Mullion intersection joins are set individually for each instance - either being continous or to break at join.

I guess it is not possible to have them both continuous as toggling one will affect the other.

 

Any clever workaround you want to suggest?

 

Currently, it is showing as the 3D view on the top left corner. It is using a Mullion Profile as shown on the bottom left corner. The goal is to have an intersections similar to the one showing on the right. This effect was achieved using an In-Place family to extent the horizontal mullion tips and use of the Linework tool set to <Invisible Lines> on the needed edges. Very time consuming to apply to to all the elevations we need to prepareImage 842.png

Might have found a way.

 

Short version

Splt the CWMullion into two bits and use two CWs.

Smaller bit in the front CW.
Larger bit for the back CW.
 
For my case, one of the CWs is hosting all elements and the other CW only has the larger CW Mullion bit along with Empty Panels

Why do you need to model mullions in such detail? In most cases, we draft details, not model them....

You are correct. We also not model details.

But this is not a detail. It is not showing correctly at a GA elevation.
