I like to use a column family. I'm not sure how to do it the "right way"

Scott,
Would you embed the column family into the curtainwall panel, or would you place it as a seperate "column" and then butt the curtainwall into it??
I just place the column and let the curtain wall die into it. However I think now that you can use profiles to create mullions you maybe able to take a standard rectangle profile, rotate it 45deg then use it on oneside of the corner to get what you want. Embeding into a panel is and interesting idea, I haven't had to do one of these since release 5 when you couldn't make your own mullion shapes.

In the type parameters for mullions there is a profile option. You can create a custom profile and load it in there. I actually had a really hard time getting this example to work. It's been a while so I'm trying to recall ...
Al, could you post your file? I'd like to see you did it. Or just grab the corner, group it, and save the group out and upload that.
To now, the column idea works best for me -- horizontal mullions get stopped by geometry in the custom panel family. You have to manually set the "column" height and geometry, but ah well that's life.
You can't apply a profile to any of the corner mullion system families. What a shame.Originally Posted by al
He didn't use a corner mullion family of course, so cleanups at corners become a bit messy. But Al's example is looking promising!
Select the two curtain walls that form the corner. From the Edit menu choose Group. In the Group dialog, either note that name of the group or rename it to Corner CW Example.
From the File menu, choose Save to Library > Save Group. From this dialog, choose the group that you're saving out to disk. You'll probably have to zip the resulting SVG file that you get out of Revit for it to be attached to this thread; I don't think SVG is an allowed extension for an attachment.
