    Default Curved Curtain Wall

    I have a curved curtain wall that I created from a polyline. I have placed window styles in the infills (yes this is to be segmented not a true curve. My question is how do I force the mullions to stay between the infill? They can't be rectilinear. They need to be trapezoidal. Do I need to create a profile override (?) or is there a setting that will force the mullion to follow the segment.

    I am running ACA 2009. Thanks.

    I have never seen a feature in curtain walls that apply as you suggest. It appears that profiles are the only way.

    Have you tried using a curtain unit style instead of a window as infills? You can turn on the top & bottom frames of the curtain unit and turn off the horizontal transoms of the main curtain wall. It's not perfect, but at least you get a segmented transom instead of a curved.

    Cgraham is right as usual. Creating profiles worked. The unfortunate part is that the curtain wall is shaped like a piano (or piano curve), so I had to come up with about 6 profiles and try and label them descriptively.
