HAve a scenario where I have some CW's that are at O/S and I/S corners where
there are Butt Glass, but have some Horiz mulls, and obivously the Head and
Sill Frames. I just read an earlier post in the Newsgroup about Custom CW Corner as it
relates the the Butt Glass, and will try Scott's suggestion. However, how
do you get the the Mulls themselves to miter at the corners...........I
tried using the Corner tool, since the CW is technically a wall in RAC's
eyes, BUT it doens't seem to work. Any suggestions.

You may try creating two half mullions that will meet together and form the corner mullion.

Mike,

At those "butt glazed" corners, you'll need to make sure that the horizontal mullion is made to be "dominate" or uninterrupted at those corners. The default for most curtainwalls in Revit is to have the verticals be continuous. You can manually change this at those corners to deviate from the remainder of the curtainwall system if necessary.
