I am trying to model a glazing system in a wall. I used exterior glazing embeded in a 8" wall, and I used a void extrusion and the cut geometry tool to fix the corner, but the problem is that I can not make a perfect union for the glazing. See attachments.

Any ideas how to do this?

The easiest solution to this one that I've found is to create a wall style that is the same thickness and material as your curtain wall glass and use that as the curtain panel for the corner windows. Mitres every time

I found out that if you pick the end of the glazing system, you will see a blue dot, click it and make right click and go to "disallow joint", now I can stretch the glazing without any restriction wherever I want.

If you do that, though, you probably won't be able to stick a corner mullion in there. You'll have to make a regular mullion that's wider to simulate an actual corner mullion.

Theres a few way to build corner windows. My first question would be how to do you want to schedule that?
