How can I prevent Revit from trimming the curtain wall panels when using a custom mullion profile.
I am using curtain walling systems with basic wall as curtain panels. I want to create a drip flashing profile to insert as a horizontal mullion (Transom) WITHOUT affecting the curtain walling panels.
I understand I can use model in place sweeps, but when there are 100s of openings in the wall structure, executing sweeps one at a time will not suffice (due to not allowing more than one loop).
I have attempted to position the mullion profile loop in all 4 quadrants of the family reference planes (to prevent trimming), yet I cannot achieve the desired result.
See below screenshots of results and revit file.
Desired result:
custom mullion profile:
Curtain wall panels without mullion profile:
Undesirable curtain wall panels with custom mullion (note the panel has been trimmed and the underside of panel level has increased):
thank you in advanced.
you could edit type of the basic wall and in edit assembly, add the profile as sweep in section view mode, then load it back in curtain wall

Thank you for the reply.
This solution would work if the same base detail was needed across the whole elevation , but if an elevation has multiple structural openings, ie doors, loading doors windows etc then multiple curtain walling systems, with different wall types, with different base sweep profiles, will need to be used at every opening. This would be rather time consuming.
I am hoping to find a way of using a mullion family as the drip detail,so it can be applied to openings/grids with a few clicks.
how do you extend the curtain walling down if a mullion family has trimmed it?
This is a screenshot of the elevation with a loading door structural opening within the cladding(curtain walling system) and the head drip detail (mullion family)
