Curtain Wall misery

runxel — Tue, 09 May 2023 14:19:05 GMT

Since I ran into this misery again.
Will you ever decide to fix this, Graphisoft?
The last corner of a curtain wall (closed polygon) is totally messed up.

Yes, there is a workaround. But I am tired of workarounds. Software should enable users, not alienate them!

Question time:
Is it possible to have TRUE ROUND segments (yes I totally want bent glass!) in the curtain wall?

Not possible, AFAIK.

Not possible, AFAIK, unless you script curved Panel object, that way it may be possible to achieve.

For the panels, this may be possible.
But the frames will still be straight.
I haven't played much with curtain walls.
You can have a custom profile frame, but I don't think you can curve the path of that frame.

It would be nice to have a "real curved " curtain wall, saying this it is quite easy to achieve this with other tools.You can look at some of my tutorials if you like, curved windows/glass panels and frames.
