I have a question how or where to set Curtain wall resolution at fillet corners. Well, I know curtain wall consist of segments and no curved profile available, however looking for an alternative way similar than in case of shell tool when registry keys can allows us to increase the resolution of shell faces. Is there similar method to get a higher resolution curtain wall?
Currently railings are tested with different add-ons and curtain wall also can be a possible tool to create railings.

No, there is no such setting.
When I faced this situation what I did is I placed several new vertical Grid Lines into the rightmost panel to be able to approximate the curve. It will create Frames along those grid lines but you can easily delete those frames.

Yes, redefine the Grid Lines spacing in the Schemes page of the Curtain Wall Settings Dialog so its resolution is low enough to give an adequate result at the corner.
