Did you try the JOINTS section, in the Courtain Wall settings?
On mine they are there.

I don't have AC available right now to check. However, if it says "file not found" it sounds as though the part is calling for a macro that is not in a loaded library. Check to make sure all necessary libraries are loaded (could this be a custom part for the curtain wall?).

Other than that you will need either someone more versed with this part or at least someone that has AC available to look at the part.

dtorretto:

Are you sure the message is not Fill not found at line 21/ 44 in th 3d script of file cw panel 12.gsm.? Lines 21 & 44 are:
sect_fill internalFill_1, internalFillPenBg_1, internalFillPen_1, gs_cont_pen
so check under the panel settings Panel Type and Geometry > Cut/Outline Attributes > Internal Fill to see if the fill is "Missing". (This same problem occurs for doors).

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
