Greetings!
Thanks to searching this wonderful forum I have figured out how to change the angle of all gridlines and mullions in a curtain wall.

However I would like to draw multiple gridlines and add mullions on the same face, each at a different angle.

I have attached an image to describe what I am trying to do.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
TC

I'm not sure I understand the question exactly, but---

Could you use "select all grids" and place mullions on all of the gridlines
in your sketch?

cheers.....

edit: upon further review, I think a window family, with aluminum extrusions
like curtainwall mullions, might be a better solution. I'm not sure there's an easy way to make a curtainwall with the arrayed grids like your sketch.

There are OTB window families which could be used to modify or you could create
a new one from the window family template.

hi chadwickt
The Panel your showing can be made as a custom Panel.Not for the fainthearted though.
If it would be square you could do it with nested Curtain walls but this is also rather cumbersome.
a Curtain wall can have only one Angle,but you can nest curtain walls into curtain walls with different Angles but then again you lose the possibility to Edit Profile.
so back to custom Panel or Window Family as Cliff suggested.
