    Default how to make a sloped and curved triangulated curtain wall?

    I'm about to submit a wish to enhance the curtain wall tool drastically to be able to make curved and sloped traingle schaped curtain wall as the images. At this moment, you can't rotate curtain wall grids on a (double) curved surface and you can' t make triangle or multi edge curtain wall panels.

    In the meantime, i would like to know how to make such a curtain wall form scratch in-place or in a family. The last image is a theater completely done in Revit, so it is possible. I just can' t figure out how to make it, as you can't set your work plane on a curved surface.

    Curtain system grids don't have an angle parameter on a curved surface.

    No but you can make your mass faceted.
    You can build it in something like Max then import in a mass family and apply.

    Make a Mass or Generic Model to apply a Curtain Wall by Face.

    If you "split" the sketch lines when creating a blend for the Mass, when you apply the curtain wall by face, the mullions will "connect" the points from the bottom split line to the top split line, allowing one to make custom mullion panels that lean at angles.

    Use the Massing Tool.
    Create a Mass, then convert the faces of the mass to a curtainwall.

    Cheers.....
