I know there was some discussion about sloping walls/curtainwalls somewhere but I am ubable to find what I am looking for.

I am trying to slope my curtainwall a few degrees off 90, but am having trouble. I know that with a regular wall you can use a floor or roof with a slope arrow, but I cannot seem to get that to work with a curtainwall.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Are you talking about changing the Profile of the wall in elevation or canting the wall off vertical?

If the former I think there's an issue with which Curtain Wall Panels you can use (try switching to a System Panel)... I know I had issues once and this solved them but I didn't dig much deeper to figure out how to do it better.

If you're talking about canting the wall you'll need to create a Mass object to use as an underlaying form and use Pick Faces to apply the wall... then just hide the Mass.

As Greg said, the best way is to use the massing tool and convert faces to walls & roofs. (see ATTACHED)
