    Exclamation Curtain Wall Panel Rotating Itself in Curtain Wall

    Help please! My panel is rotating itself unpside down in the curtain wall grid! I can get it to flip about its face and about it left and right using flip arrows but it is not correcting the problem. The curtain wall is sloped also. I am only having the problem on sloped walls. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Cool Re: Curtain Wall Panel Rotating Itself in Curtain Wall

    As it is sloped, I assume you have created a Mass and converted a Face to a Curtain System?

    If so, open the Curtain Panel family itself, and check for constraints to reference planes.

    It could be that the panle is not behaving correctly inside the Curtain System
    due to it being "underconstrained"--i.e. not associated with reference planes
    or origins to the curtain grid, or the opposite-- it could be "overconstrained"
    and locked to a certain ref. plane or dimensioned from the curtain grid.

    just a thought worth checking.

    cheers........

    Thank you for your reply Cliff. No it was created using the roof tool and converted to sloped glazing. my sloped glazing at the top of my wall is fine it's the undercut side of the "jewel box" that is not behaving.

    I've tried putting the slope arrow bottom up or top down and it makes no difference.

    I am sooooo frustrated! Any other ideas??
