Custom frame profile with Curtain Walls

Hi,

 

I have created a custom frame profile and saved it as a library part.

 

Although when I select it on the Curtain wall settings it appears correctly, then when it is placed it has nothing to do.

 

See attached images. Why is this happening?

For a curtain wall, you can save a panel as a library element but not a profile ; profiles are based on complex profiles and not library elements. I think you have a complex profile with the same name as the library element displayed as a square by default.

Open this complex profile or create a new one and paste the profile into it.

Normally it will then be displayed correctly.
