Curtain Panels shown when above cutplane

[soender]

Hi,

I have created a Generic Model panel (Reglit glass panels), created a Curtain Panel family where 2 GM Reglit panels are then assembled into. The assembled curtain panel is put into a curtain wall. The wall grid adjusted and doors put in. This work as i intended.

But now, when I view the door in plan view, I can see the GM panels above the door. Normaly these would disappear, when I put in a door - as they are above the cut plane. I can in plan view select the panels when using [TAB] on them individually, but not when selecting with a window. Screen-dumps attached to explain..

When I change one of the GM panels to a system panel, the cut behaves correctly, and the panel is not seen in plan view.

What could I have possibly done wrong? Should the assembly be a native curtain panel? This would not be perfect, as I want to use the same GM panel for doors etc. and still be able to take out collected areas etc. Both families should behave the same way, as far as I can tell in the Help documentation.

regards, troels

Probably, the display issue could be solved with a plan region, but I would like to know what is happening in the panel family. Can you please post the Revit file? (just the curtain wall)

Hi Alfredo.

Yes it could. But that would require quite a lot of plan regions throughout the building.. I have also thought about simply hidding the panels on a individual basis. But that solution would not be viable either.

The curtain wall is attached. Hope that you can help out. Really can't see what's wrong here.

Curtain wall file..

see attached fixed rvt.

could you explain how you fixed the visibilty of the panels at level 1?

[Ning Zhou]

visibility and symbolic lines should apply to "CP_Reglit double panels" instead of "GM_Reglit Panel".

thank you! I did download both files and tried to figure it out first

[soender]

Yes! Now I get it. Of course. It can't read the setting from the nested file through the Curtain Panel file.
Thank you so much :)
