I'm designing a skyscraper for my architecture studio class, and on some floors, my curtain walls show up like this (see picture). On some floors, they are just fine like they should be. Please help!curtain wall.JPG

Is the Curtain Wall Mullions Category turned off in the View?

I checked my visibility settings, and everything seems to be checked! I also checked the hidden layers and nothing is hidden.

Does the curtainwall span from Ground Level to the Roof? Or do you have separate CWs that span from floor to floor?

If you have a single CW, then a visibility setting in certain views is likely the problem.

 

If you have many CWs, then it could be a Type that you used did not have a mullion type specified, or something else wrong with it.

Lower or raise your View Range Cut Plane a tad.

My money is on View Cut Plane cutting through the Mullions in the Plan View.

Edit your View Range and change the Cut Plane height. Works like a charm.

Adjust your cut plane a bit so that it doesn't cut right at the horizontal mullion.
