    Question Mitered Brise Soleil Family

    I'm trying to create a brise soleil family that has a 45-degree miter at the end to allow wrapping at the corners.

    In order to build in the dimensional flexibility I wanted, am using a nested bar family that will allow the arrays to function properly. I tried using extrusions and sweeps directly in the overall brise soleil family, but could not get them to array properly.

    The problem that I'm having is that creating a void object in the family will not cut the nested bars, only the in-family frame objects.

    This seems like a bit of a Catch-22: I can only get the arrays to work properly if I use a nested family, but I can't make the "miter cut" of the array of nested family objects.

    Any help y'all could provide would be greatly appreciated. I've attached my effort thus far. Thanks.

    Default Re: Mitered Brise Soleil Family

    Havent done this myself but from my experience you would need to add a reference line to the bar family and lock the sweep path or extrusion ends to the ends of the reference line. Then in your host family you would have to add a reference line at the 45 angle and then lock the ends of the bar family reference line to the reference plane on one end and the reference line on the other. then when you array the bar family it should increase in length the further out from the wall it moves.
