Anyone know how to insert glassblock units into a wall? We use these a lot in our designs - sometimes in a rectangular array, other times more randomly placed - often in a curved wall, nearly always not floor-to-ceiling.

make a wall based family for your glass block, one module. This would be a family made much like a window (you could use a window family template). Then you can insert the glass block in any wall, and array it of you wanted. There was a glass block family available at RUGI.

Hey Mr. mmulvey:

Here ya go, let me know how it works for you.
It's generically sized, and not very parametric, but neither is true glass block :)
So, your gonna have to "stack" them into your walls, just like a real mason. :P

Thanks guys - will take some tweaking to get what I want but your components look like they will work.
