Mass - divided surface (hexagonal), adjust U and V grid layout as needed (pic 1)

 

Create a panel - curtain panel pattern based.rft (pic 2 - I’m not showing any frame, but you can create it as a sweep with ref lines as a path).

 

Load it to your mass family and apply to the grid (pic 3)

 

And, you need to make additional adaptive panels to fill partial panels at the wall edges.

Since your curtain wall does not bend in a twisty way and panels do not have to adapt to a wavy form, you can use a regular curtain wall with custom panels.

See my picture of a draft design.

Revit add-ins: CAD Purger (delete UNUSED and selected line patterns & line styles, find and delete CAD), Rooms To Spaces, Schedule Utilities (Calculated Values/Combined Parameters To Tags, reuse view filter rules in schedule filters), View Filter Manager at Revit Apps Store

Yes, you are right, I know I'll most probably get it done using a curtain panel pattern based, but I was looking for a much easier way. thank you
