mullions in curtain grid

[Anonymous]

Even though that my curtain grids are angled I want the green lines which are straight to become. This enables me to fit the door properly in the curtain wall.

No can do I'm afraid.  You can only have one grid orientation for each axis on a curtain wall.

One option though would be to adjust the profile of your curtain wall to cut out the corner where the door etc is and then place another curtain wall element in the space created - you can then divide this up as required.

It can be kind of done by nesting curtain walls together. You can have the main one have the angle mullions and then replace the panel/panels in one part with a curtain wall that uses orthagonal mullions. There may be a little weirdness where the 2 come together, but it will be "close".

What we have done to "fix" this is to create a wall type that is glass, set the infill panel to that wall type and then you can use a standard door family in that panel and you do not have to rely on the mullion grids for your door size.  The frame will come with the door so in curtainwall I always set it to the 1" inner frame and then use the curtainwall frame around it.  The only downside is in your plan view you will have to do a linetype override to set the glass wall to the correct lineweight.
