I have some questions about vertical mullions. For clarity, I am going to post them in separate threads. I would appreciate any help.
The illustration provided is an elevation view showing 2 curtain wall entities. The one on the left has vertical mullions only. The length of the vertical mullion is equal to the height of wall. That's how I would like to keep it. However, as soon as I place any horizontal grid lines, my vertical mullions are broken in pieces. I would like to find a way to keep my vertical mullions as one element. The reason for this wish is that I want to be able to schedule the vertical mullion as one single piece as it really is, not as the sum of several pieces. I know how to add the lengths of the pieces in the schedule, but it would be a lot easier to schedule these vertical mullions if they were not broken into multiple pieces. My question is whether there is a way to prevent the vertical mullion to be broken by the horizontal grids, or a way to join the pieces back together into one single mullion.
Hint: none of the two methods that Revit provides to supposedly do this, works ("hold shift to create single mullion" nor the "grid line" method that is supposed to add a mullion to "an entire grid line", nor "join geometry")
