Hi Dzan, Do you know how to use the real curtain wall extrusions in making custom curtain wall panel?

[@DzanTa]

you can start with the profile.rte template file. Go to Categories and specify it as a mullion profile. Create a closed loop sketch for your custom mullion. Load that into the project and swap the families...

@@DzanTa Thanks Mate. I will try this and let you know if it works

[@beto008]

does this adapt to a curtain wall with an angular profile edge?

[@DzanTa]

as long as you sketch the angle lines and constrain them properly, it should work. Another alternative is to use the adaptive component curtain pattern based families

@@DzanTa can you point to me to a video that shows the sketch line approach. I already found your adaptive component curtain wall approach, so thanks for that.
But to give more depth, I have modeled an actual wall panel this wall has many extrusions, so when I change the wall profile to something else than a rectangle, Revit deletes the type and places a default glazing.

@@beto008 that usually means your curtain wall profile is too complex of a sketch. You can try to make a more simple profile and go from there.

@@DzanTa not sure if I communicated it well. But the wall profile is a simple trapezium with the angle side being the top one. I wish I could send a screenshot haha.
