Creating Curtain wall frame

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello there,

I am wondering how can I create a curtain wall frame when I have cut or substracted the curtain wall with the roof. Since the roof is slanted, it is impossible for me to snap the cut line. I am new to ArchiCAD and struggling with this now. trying to learn it.

Many thanks

You have to edit the curtain wall boundary and adjust it to the roof instead of trimming it by the roof

I am trimming the curtain wall by the roof, and that will not create a boundary for the trimming line. I tried to snap the trimming line in 3D when I was editing the curtain wall and felt very hard. Now I am using the elevation and section view to do that. I am just wondering is there any other way to do that? or you need to create that by editing it.
