I'm messing around with the idea of creating a partition panel wall using the curtain wall functionality, but I can't seem to figure out how to trim the panels (assuming it's possible to do it this way). I have a ribbed panel at a set size in the curtain panel family and I attached a void on either end to trim the panel for smaller instances. Is something like this possible or is cutting with a void always a manual process?
Shape Editing and/or Embedding Walls might get you there. Got a picture of what you would like to Model? Post it.
"Ribbed" as in Corrugated? If so, consider using Mullions in lieu of Panels if you want to Shape/Edit Wall Profile. That is, the Curtain Wall would consist of tightly spaced Vertical or Horizontal Mullions with one Mullion representing a single rib. No Panels at all. Just the Empty System Panel as the Default go-to filler.
@ToanDN We can't go with the material because we need the profile to show up in a top down view.
@barthbradley The picture below has the 3 profiles we'll need, but I'm just trying to figure out the first one. The reason I'm using a panel as opposed to individual ribs is because we need to keep track of the count. (Right now we use a custom tool to array the panels within a nested family and the count shows up in the BOM).
I would create the corrugated as mullion profile. Set the panel to empty and you get curtainwall that will conform to the shape you wanted. See attached.
Thank you all for the suggestion, I'm going to try that out and see how it goes.
