Hello guys, I'm currently trying to model curtain wall panels/mullions around columns and it is required to have  them cut the columns as they meet together. However I only been able to do it once (one mullion on one column) and never the second. Any solution to this?

p/s: The family has "cut geometry" checked as well as "void cut when loaded".

I don't understand the construction. Wouldn't the Curtain Walls abut the Columns?  

 

..something like this embedded curtain wall?

Are the column vertical mullions or separate elements?

You can also get there by embedding a Basic Wall that is just glazing material and thickness into another Basic Wall Type to which the Columns are Joined. 

 

...Something like this:

They are seperate. I wany to cut family “Rectangular Mullion” to the family “Column” which also has a void embedded within, however only able to do one cut and not multiple, hence you can see a mullion is cut on one side of the column while the others are going through the column

I can't test right now but you can try one of the following:

- Cut Geometry and tick Multiple Cuts

- Place two columns in the same place to cut

- Place a solid mass the same size as the column and Cut geometry: pick mullion then mass
