Dear everyone,
This is my first post, but I have actually lurked in this forum for some time after creating an account. I was wondering if anyone has encountered the similar challenges I've gone through in this Revit file.
There are many issues regarding the curtain wall [CW] joins and fixes I could learn, but having looked around the search engine and various Revit-related forums, there weren't any post or thread that highlighted the problem I've encountered here.
There are not one or two, but four and five problems I've had to deal with the CW. Right now in this post I want to focus on inserting stacked wall [SW] inside the CW.
The first one I have to deal with is how to insert SW segments inside the curtain wall. Has anyone done this before? When I replaced system glazing panels with these SWs (in separate top and bottom parts), they were off by few inches forward and downwards. To align them with the actual SWs next to them, I had to modify the lower wall segment's structure by unlocking the base and top wall boundaries. After finding that didn't fix the sweeps entirely, I turned these lower segments into parts, which opened a can of worms. Yes the alignments were made, but but that turned a wall into several parts.
I intended to follow the design based on this illustration. It turned out that making this would be one hectic task. Doing this in in-place was not an option for this part.

Of course, I have to deal with mullions as well as wall joins.
Best regards,
