- On this episode of the Office Hour Sessions I used a question from one of our members, Jerry, to give a little overview of the curtain wall tool in Revit. As Jerry says in the session, "wow, curtain walls in Revit are pretty powerful " ! Haha!
Every other week I hold a private call with members of the BIM After Dark Community (community.bima.... I thought it would be valuable to highlight some of the conversations here on the channel.

Selecting grids can be slow using tab. I find changing to wire frame allows you to select grids more quickly. Other option- select mullions and panels and switch off temporarily leaving just wall and grids visible.
Or use PyRevit pick select tool ;)

Curtain wall is one of the most useful & tricky tools at the same time in Revit. Nice vid. From EnjoyRevit. :)
Cheers! Love your work! Great to hear from you again! :)
@@TheRevitKid Been a long time since our rooftile colaboration. :) I'm still updating EnjoyRevit (not very frequently) and they are mostly about Dynamo. Someone like you inspires me to continue EnjoyRevit. Thanks.
Can you have a session on rebar modelling in revit. It takes a lot of time. Please share some tips and tricks regarding it.
Cheers! I actually enjoy Rebar in Revit! I will put it on my list of topics moving forward!
I've started to use curtain walls instead of railings (which I find mostly hopeless unless it's for stairs which is slightly less hopeless).
The only thing that sucks is scheduling and having to make dummy tags for curtain walls when scheduling them as doors/windows and also having to elevate each one.
What also suck is isolating curtain walls in view. Usually you need to pick up all parts for them to show up which no one has time for as no other type category does this.
It’s a clever idea but I would advise against it for the reasons you mentioned and more. Railings can be frustrating but they are pretty good at being railings … study up on them and give them another try!!
Question: if there a workaround when you replacing existing glass pane with a door other than Curtain wall inside curtain wall. revit Does not allow you to have elements in different phases which is a limitation
Are you saying, when you use a curtain panel door and how you phase it within the curtain wall?
Curtain walls are not powerful the person using them are 😮
