Curtasin Wall Radiused Top

[Anonymous]

I am trying to get a Curtain wall to fit uder a barrel vault which requires a true radiused top. What I am getting is a segmented top as shown in attached pic. Is it possible? It seems to be shown as possible in the documentation (Although they show a reverse radius in the help example).

Thanks Darrin

Hey Darrin,

Try adjusting the Magic Wand settings from the options menu.

You are trying for curved framing members, perhaps?

Yes I am trying for a curved BOUNDARY (or top mullion) to the curtain wall. Is this possible?

The boundary of a Curtain Wall may consist of only straight segments so you will not be able to put a curved segment there with Curtain Walls.
One solution would be to create a scheme for the curtain wall that has a frame every 100 or 200 millimeter or something. Then the segmentation will be high enough to approximate your curve.
Of course in that case you will have to delete a lot of frames that get generated but that is not a hard task considering that you can select rows and columns of frames and delete them in one step.

The simplest approach would be to make the curved top frame with the morph tool, extend the curtain wall past the top and subtract up with a solid operation.
