Problem using curtain panel pattern based and it has overlapping

hello everyone,

 

i have some problems when i try to representate some structural elements with a curtain panel pattern based. the curtain panels have overlapping and its not good for plot.how can i join or cut them to be a single model.photo_2021-09-08_12-47-16.jpgphoto_2021-09-08_12-47-20.jpg

I don't get the question. That's the condition at the intersections where circular mullions meet.  How else should it look? 

 

BTW: did use model a mullion all the way around the panel perimeter?  If so, then the panels are overlapping on the divided surface.

i used Metric Curtain Panel Pattern Based to make this form now i want to delete the intersections and make the curtain panels(mullions) join together like floor and walls

The border mullions overlapping is normal when you use curtain panel pattern base approach.  If you want to join them, use generic adaptive pattern base and join geometry.

To clean up that join is pretty much hard to impossible if you used Pattern based...You need to model that

  1. Adaptive component (Where you can clean up and patch joins and stitch end segments/panels) - See image below
  2. Or using structural components 

Otherwise, model an additional connection/join/node to cover up the nasty overlaps at the intersections...welded joins on this shape is a no go

By the look of it, they are joined properly. Of course, you need to deselect them to see.  Can you post a screenshot without the elements selected?

The adaptive component didn't work and I was not able to join them
