Well, hi everybody.
I'm newbie in ACA, so I need help in one interesting question. Actually I'm trying to make curtain wall from surface. In its turn, it was made with EDGESURF command. So, now I have Coons surface with necessary shape, but really don't know what to do next and how to convert it into something appropriate. Neither "convert to mass element" nor "convert to solids" works. You can find in the attachement how it looks like (though it's a screenshot from 3Dmax, where the draft model was created) - area inside green outline. Besides this, when I've got by some miracle a kind of surface with faces suitable for applying Curtain wall tool to them, it was returning absolutely crazy results - triangular self-intersecting walls I mean.
Do I need to try making it another way or is there any way out of the problem?
