Mullion wall with non-vertical base

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to createt a mulliun on a slanted floor, so that the bottom is aligned perfectly? The family works with "attach bottom" but only the middelpoint is connected. One half is positioned above the floor, and the other half is overlapping with the floor. The same thing has to happen for the top, it should have a fixed height for the whole panel, not only the middelpint, but this is also (not preferably) possible to cut off with a void.

Any ideas?

The picture was a simple sketch, but ofcourse the real floor is a little more complicated. It's not a straight line, but it's a floor from a tunnel, so it goes down, horizontal, and back up again at different angles.

Edit profile of the curtain wall or attach the base to a sloped floor or roof then the bottom mullion will follow.

I think he's talking about vertical mullions, with bottom border ones deleted.

It doesn't work for them.

Strange...I am editing the curtainwall to be angle at the base and it gives me sloped mullion at the base.

When you edit the mullion type, do you set to perpendicular to the face or parallel to ground?

Yes, until you delete bottom mullions. Then vertical ones end up like in my screenshot.

It is certainly achievable

The trick is to make the bottom mullion as thin as possible and placed it in the same placed as the glass panel.

Great out of the box thinking! If this is what OP is talking about, I think it can be marked as solved.

Going to take a look at it today, thanks! Another problem is that it's also not a real mullion wall with glass etc, but just a panel (1 object repeated)
