Voids with Curtain Wall Panels.

[jalexander.108656]

Is there a way to create a curtain wall panel that automatically voids out of a wall like a window does? I have a wall which curtain walls are embedded within. The curtain wall panels are parametric but the profiles of the walls are not. We’re doing Value Engineering studies and the heights of our floors are changing and I keep on having the adjust the profiles of the walls, while the curtain walls are parametrically linked to the floors heights. I’d like to create a void system which is parametric and linked to the curtain wall panels. Is there a good way to do this, am i going about things the right way?

Thanks,

If I understand the problem correctly and assuming you are dealing with curtain walls (ie walls that are vertical, not curtain systems) then the automatically embed parameter is the one you are looking for.

that's exactly what I needed to learn how to do.
