Problem with curtain wall panels

[patricks]

I have 2 curtain walls with sloping grids coming together at a 150-deg. angle. I need the top panel on each curtain wall to change to one of my wall types, but when I change it, I get a wierd joint condition at the wall join, and for some reason I can't get it to change to a Miter joint. I have a similar condition at the bottom of the wall, and I was able to change that one to miter so that it cleaned up nicely.

Please see the attached file, the problem should be immediately apparent. Any ideas?

Can anyone help me out on this? I had somehow fixed it but now it's come back again (probably one of those times when it gave me a "can't keep elements joined" message when trying to STC).

Not sure why it's happenig but if you change the wall location line (or the location line offset as you have on the lower portion) the panels clean up correctly.

Any reason you don't want to model it so the curtain wall is embedded in the end wall? See attached modified file.

ummm I'm not sure why I didn't model the curtain wall embedded in the wall with siding. :roll:

Guess I'll try it that way, thanks for the suggestion. :mrgreen:

*edit* well I should have known, curtain walls still have problems embedding in walls when they turn a corner. It leaves a small sliver of the host wall at the corner. In my case it's probably small enough that it won't be a big deal, but it's definitely a problem for curtain walls embedded in walls that turn a 90-deg. corner.
