curtain walls

How do i create a curved curtain wall or replica? Not as easy as that unfortunately. The curve is irregular, imagine a banana with 30% of it straight at one end. In plan thats what i need to do. Ive at the minute only created a glass wall. Its just not looking too good in the rendering.

Have you tried "ArchiGlazing"?

Can you not use the 'Curtain Wall Curved' object under 08 Doors-Windows? Might need two with different radii to get the shape...in conjunction with a straight section perhaps? To do the top trimming, you'll have to use a roof or a subtraction via SEOps.

Just a thought...
