Curtain walls can only be see on the home storey or all relevant storeys (i.e. storeys they pass through).

That is because they are usually vertical like a wall - a wall has only the same options.

 

You could convert it to a morph or else you will have to model it with slabs and beams.

Set the curtain wall to show on relevant stories and for each story you want change the floor cut plane settings to include the story the curtain wall is.

That way the curtain wall will be projected to the upper floors.
