How to do curved curtain wall mullions?

[patricks]

We're working on a project that is going to have a large curtain wall with a few curved mullions in the pattern. What can I do to make these? Here's a sketch of what it will look like.

Create custom curtain panels with the curved mullion in them. Then in a regualr curtain wall, swap your custom panels for the "default" panels where the curves are needed.

hmm yeah I figured that might be the answer. The question is can I reverse the panels so I only have to make one custom panel?

If you can't make them flip (maybe just a matter of adding a flip symbol in the family?), you can always make both versions of the curve in the same panel family and then make two types - each with only one of the curves visible.

I recall an example of a glass curtain wall panel with 'spider' brackets from AU06 and they made one panel with all 4 brackets and then made a type for each condition - eg corners, centre panels, edge panels etc where different numbers of brackets are set to be visible.

hope that helps!
