I need a corner mullion that has a profile like a 6-sided figure, situated 45 degrees to a 90-deg. corner in a curtain wall, similar to this:

Is there any way to do this? I can't seem to figure out how to create a corner mullion.

patricks,

The mullion shape and size are profile controlled. Create a new profile for the mullion in the family editor and import it to the project. Open the standard corrner mullion and duplicate to create new and change the profile to you new. Modify the profile and the mullion will change

The profile parameter does not show up for a corner mullion. I thought I remember reading somewhere that you could not create custom corner mullions.

yep that is the problem... the rectangular mullion is the only one that shows a profile parameter, and the Corner Mullion checkbox in the rectanuglar mullion properties is grayed out so I can't activate that parameter.

My suggestion is to make a column family.
