View Full Version : Rotated Curtainwall

We need to develop a curtainwall "cube" that is rotated in elevation view.
Tried using a mass cube to convert to curtainwall--but could not get the mass
to rotate in elevation view.

Could we set up a reference line which is angled in elevation and align the cube to it?

Any help appreciated.

A sketch would be helpful to explain how you want it rotated in elevation...is that possible?

You need to build the cube rotated, not try to rotate the cube. Create a ref plane that is at the angle of the base of the cube, and name it. Then set your workplane to that named ref plane, and then use a mass extrusion to build the cube. Then apply the curtain wall. You may need to rotate the curtain wall grid after placement.

Here's an example:
