I've actually learned that if you're offsetting and trying to tab in to select all lines and it's not working you can off click once then tab in and it'll work for ya.
This is beautiful, thanks for the tutorial. But using this system it's not possible to cut holes/create different openings shapes on it for doors, windows and etc, therefore, it becomes pretty much useless.
Actually, if you create this panel as a custom vertical wall, you can host a door or window in it. You can also use the wall opening command or face based opening command to make holes. Since it's a wall, you should be able to Edit Profile too.
Hi Dzan Thank you for your video. I have tried to make a metal panel but I keep getting errors when I try and use it in my project. Is there a chance that you could look at it for me? Thank you Tony
When you guys make these videos it would be helpful to load it and use it in a model as a demo and show how it interfaces with a sloped roof above and window openings. The problem with using curtain walls as the motif is that this family wont attach to the underside of an angled roof and it also doesn't like clipping for windows..doors yes but not windows.
Curtain walls can attach to the top of a roof. You might have to edit profile to make it work. Panels can be swapped for panel doors. Or, you can swap a panel for a wall and insert a door in that wall. I have another video that shows the application of it...just dig into my channel. You'll find it.
Thanks for the video! I need to edit the profile of the curtain wall to a round shape. When I edit it, the panels that are being affected by the profile, Revit is automatically changing them to Glazed panels and it is not letting me use the corrugated panels. Any thoughts on how can I resolve this problem?
not sure what you mean by round shape....custom profiles for curtain panels need to be simple with not too many complex curves...otherwise, it defaults back to glazed panel. Hope this helps
@@DzanTa Thank you for your prompt reply. It is also happening when I put a wall opening. I have my curtain wall set it up with my vertical grid spacing at a 3' fixed distance and my horizontal grid at 20', that is the actual panel size given by the manufacturer. When I make a wall opening for my 7' high door there is reaming 2' panel. This 2' panel is the one that Revit is changing to the glazed panel instead of the corrugated panel.
Hi I am keep getting error (There is no open view that shows any of the highlighted elements. searching through the closed views to find a good view could take a long time.)
I would start by closing the file first. Then opening it to 1 view. Then do whatever sequence of events you performed to see if you get the same error. Is the error occurring when you are in family making adjustments are when you are loading it into a Project file?
Great video, can you use this method to create horizontal panels. I created the extrusion on the left view, but when i add panel to storefront it doesnt repeat vertically. It is only 8' tall
Hi Dzan, thanks for video. I am having an issue getting the corrugated part of the panel to repeat. I get two section of corrugated panel with a big stretch of flat space that grows with the size of the wall.
That happens sometimes. It is due to the amount of bends. Make a profile that has less bends for the panel or make a bend as a mullion profile and repeat the mullion instead of the panels.
Thanks Dzan, I'm have issues with door and window openings not aligning properly. Is there another way to create a corrugated metal panel using a sweep method but have the sweep run vertically and then repeat horizontally?
@@davinhartley6099 try using a beam system where the reference plane is set to vertical. You can also try to create a custom in-place family and array it.
Hi! Thanks you alot for this information. I have another question to do. It can change the color of the curtain wall? (sorry for bad english, not main lenguage)
Hi! I am getting an Error - can't create sweep message and I can't figure out why. I figured it probably has something to do with how I've drawn my profile, but I've messed around with it a few times now and still no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Any way to edit the profile of the wall when complete? or "attach top/base" I am getting an error when I try to make the wall profile work without a perfect rectangle?
Edit Profile on a wall should work unless the curtain wall spacing is messing things up. Attach Top/Base should work too. I would need to look at the file you made. Get with me tomorrow (Thursday)
I've comeback to this 3 times and have gone thru it step by step. Every time i get to the part of loading in the metal wall panel it loads into new file but half the panel drawn is corrugated and the other half is just a smooth wall. Am i not locking something correctly making the metal wall family?
4th try was successful! Turns out under properties for my modified curtain wall I changed the max spacing to be 4ft like the panel width was and that resolved it. Now to cut out openings is my next step. Thanks again! :) Dzan Ta
A Curtain Wall has a properly called Automatically Embed. If this feature is checked, the curtain wall will be hosted by the wall you draw it in. If you are talking about a door, you can load in a curtain panel door and then select a panel to switch it to the curtain wall door.
@@DzanTa tkyu sir, but my door is from metal rolling door because I use this coggurated for my factory design, when i created a hole from "opening wall" in revit is success 90% the rest is failed because the coggurated wall become a glass again. Can you have the solution sir? Tkyu
@@I_kiza_real If your door is a typical door that is hosted by a wall, you can switch your panel out to a wall. Then, insert your rolling door into that wall so it will be hosted by that wall within the panel within the curtain wall.
I looked at your family. Instead of creating a profile with a lot of s curves and making a panel that repeats....do this instead: Create a profile sketch of just 1 s curve as a Mullion Profile. Then load this into the Project. Use the Properties to swap out the mullion profile with your custom one. Then make sure the repeating distance is only the length of 1 s curve distance. I hope this helps.

Try offsetting the profile in autocad to get the correct gauge of the sheet. You can't draw a line that is 1/64" long in Revit.

@@adrilemmen you may have to delete the panel and recreate it custom. Hard to diagnose.

In this case no. You will have to use an adaptive curtain panel family on a divided surface such as rhomboid. Use the conceptual massing environment.
