Double Curved Curtain System

Hello everybody!

I'm wondering if we can draw a curtain system like this with Archicad. I think there should be a second reference line on top of curtain systems but I couldn't make it happen.

This is not possible with a single Curtain Wall.
Your best shots may be to use either a Ruled Shell or a Morph to create this geometry, but it will take more time.

On a related note, I am just wondering about this structure. I mean, every panel in that Curtain Wall is a ruled surface, so it is probably not glass. I guess each panel should be divided into two triangles so glass panes can be put into them.

Yes you're right about the structure I suppose. I didn't think of it, I'm just trying to improve my skills in ArchiCAD and saw that video and came here:)

Thank you for your response btw.
