I am trying to extend a curtain wall across the top of an existing wall, but it just isn't working. The curtain wall ends up cutting into the existing wall, and the square bits (mullions?) become a jumbled mess. Can anyone help?
Trouble extending curtain walls across an existing wall
is it going to be built like that? Is the glass going to be breaking thru the Parapet wall or is the parapet wall going to be solid and the window wrapping around it?
consider how your drawing your content, you may need to place 2 separate curtain walls, one on either side of the solid wall, or modify the solid wall to accommodate the cut out for the curtain wall.

Maybe you are trying to solve for the corner return?
You would replace the border mullion at the corner with a L-Corner Mullion - and delete the Mullion on the joining Wall.
To be more specific, I am trying to do what is shown here. The curtain wall extends across the top of the wall, without cutting into it. It closes the gap (shown below) between one end of the curtain wall and the other end.
I can achieve a similar result, with the mullions not becoming weird, but then the curtain wall extends below the current wall.

You need to share the file here.
So I put in the corner mullions, which solved my mullion problem, but the curtain wall still extends below the existing wall. I tried attaching the base to the wall, but that disconnects my roof attachment.
