I have attached a PDF for clarification of my issue. I have a curtain wall drawn at the side of a shed roof and need to attach it to the underside of the roof so that the top mullion angles properly. This is easily done and I have no problem completing this task. My issue is that my roof that it attaches to is constructed of a 1-1/2" metal deck and 4.5" of rigid insulation. My structural consultant will provide the supporting steel in his model. I have inserted a "Soffit" profile to encompass the steel as it passes outside the building to support my overhang. This is where my issue occurs. Since the curtain wall passes by the soffit profile to the underside of roof deck, the top mullion is obscurred behind the soffit profile in elevation. There does not appear to be a top offset that will maintain the angle from the roof and drop the top mullion down. Hopefully I am missing a parameter that will solve this without having to remake my roof deck to incorporate the soffit piece as well.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
