View Full Version : Corner Mullion Joins at Canted Curtainwall

See attached images because I'm not sure I could describe this well enough without them.

I'm having an issue with the horizontal mullion joins at the perpendicular section of curtainwall. For some reason, they won't extend to the canted curtainwall and I know it has to do with the half "corner" mullions I've created because the funny shaped horizontal mullions match the profile of the half corner mullions.

Any ideas to help me clean this up in a better fashion, even if it's not perfect?

How did you start creating the curtain wall? It seems that if you start from Massing & Site > In Place Mass, and then use the Curtain System tool selecting faces of this mass, the horizontal muntins of both faces come together at the corner, then you can assign a specific mullion to the corner.

Yes, that's how it was created. It worked fine with a regular rectangular corner mullion but once I added the "half corner" mullions (in order to create the correct profile), I started having issues with the horizontals.

When you click in the mullion at the corner > Edit Type > Under "Construction" Is it designated as Corner mullion?
