Everyone,
I always having problem with curtain wall tool with custom scheme.
Every times when i finish draw the curtain wall, moving the mullions and transom to get the random spacing i want. Save the setting but after that if i need to change the length or height of the curtain wall, its just don't allow me to do it. Is this only happened in AC15? Never use Curtain wall tool before

I don't fully get the problem.
Can you post some screenshots that explain the problem?

In the attached screen shoot, i highlight the part where i edit the height of the middle part of the curtain wall. So i create 2 break point to allow me to lift the sill height of the middle part of curtain wall.

But after i save the setting, come back a few days later and tried to change the sill height, it just stop me doing that. No matter how many time i change it, the sill height is always go back to it current height.

Same thing happened to the length as well, when i grab the guide line and try to extend the curtain wall (just like how we extended the wall or beam), it will always revert back to it current position. It just stop me to change anything.

Plus i realised this is only happened to isolated case, not all curtain wall i create behaved like that. Some curtain wall allowed me to edit after i change the scheme but some don't. And the only solution i have to to delete and redraw to whole wall. Any clue what happened here?

I have faced that before, tried to edit in different view ( elevation ) or close 3D and reopen it again. some times it worked. sometimes had to redraw as you suggested. ( you can try a copy of it ? , instead of starting from scratch)
