I'm trying to create a sloped curtain wall that will follow a sloped bridge connecting two buildings with a slight elevation change (0.85 degree slope). I've tried changing the curtain wall profile to fit the slope and then changing the grid lines to match that slope. However the problem I'm running in to is that in some of the panels I need a louver, which I've created a 3D panel family (an extrusion of the shape of the blades) to insert, and it will only work if the panel is completely orthogonal and not rotated at all. In reality the panels will just be installed rotated those .85 deg. so they run continuously and parallel from one side to the other. However revit will not allow me to rotate the wall as it would be in real life.
Does anyone have some suggestions on how to either force revit to rotate the wall as it will be in real life (although I still question if it would continue to have issues with the louver panel?) or a way to create a panel family that will accurately look like a louver but still work in a rotated panel?
My last case idea is to just leave those panels empty and then manually place an angled louver family into all of them. Definitely not ideal, especially for details, but perhaps as a last resort.
Thank you!

Essentially yes! Could you explain what you did? When I try to select the family I made for any panel that's not perfectly straight it keeps giving me error 1
Create a curtain wall type with only interior horizontal mullions as louver blades. Select the panels you want to turn to louvers in your sloped curtain wall and change them to the curtain wall type above, and change Angle in properties.
