Curtain Wall by temper #2

Freeform in Plan View, but still made of Wall case

The current trick is that you can divide Grid Lines of the Curtain Wall by segments. So you can free up your Segments form the original Grid system. For this, jut pick the Gridline (NOT the Mullion, but the dashed line), for this you may nedd to hit Tab button sometimes.
TIP: If you have many Gridline to modify, just hide Curtain Wall Mullions in the Visibility/Graphics window, or by right-clicking on them and select Hide in View > By Category option from the popup menu. 

If you succeded with the selection, you have to see this as the last element on the Ribbon menu

Now move your cursor over the Gridline and simly click. If you pick a segment dividing panel, it is going to disappear, if there were no division there it is going to disappear. 

For adding new Gridline, use the Curtain Grid command from the Architecture/Home tab of Ribbon, and please see adding options

After creating your Grid system, just replace Panels, like we did in the previous post at point 4-5.

I often use this technic, in case of rhythmically changing wall thichnesses

In case of using differend Wall Types, use their Offset instance parameter, to justify them. 

Instead of Panels and Wall Types, you can also use Openings, just load them from any Revit Library and select from the Properties Palette. 

Curtain Wall by temper #1

In the past years I met many Curtain Wall related question, and going to answer you. This micro series is addressed to advanced users. If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask.

The easiest is, to use a Wall

Place a Wall in a plan or 3D View with any Curtain Wall type. (Choose on the top of Properties Palette)

1. Check Type Properties by hitting Edit Type button on the Properties Palette. Here you can specify Vertical and Horizontal layout rule, distance. 
2. Justification and rotation Angle can be set at instance properties, or by clicking the mark after selection. 
3. 
4. After this, it is unpretentious to turn your Curtain Wall colorful. Select the panels one-by-one in groups and change them to another Curtain Panel or WALL type. (Maybe you should use the TAB key, to select the wanted one.)
5. If you are brave enought, select Curtain Wall types to the panels and change their Angles different from the bigone. (Step 2-4)
6. For superheroes I suggest to repeat Step 5 aswell ;)

In the properties palette you can select where to schedule these special walls with the "Categorize as" parameter.
