Fit to skin doesn't work with Curtain Wall Custom Profile

Hi,

 

I have a custom profile for my curtain wall. My profile includes insulation fill. I chose the fit to skin option for building material. It shows perfectly in the wall section, but the fit to skin option doesn't work properly with the same profile in the curtain wall section.

I think the main issue here is that technically (and internally in Archicad), a Curtain Wall Panel is a Library Part ( it is not a Composite Structure or a Profile), and the support for "Fit-to-skin" behavior in Library Parts may not have yet been implemented in Archicad.

Yeah... there is no "fit-to-skin" option in GDL... the fill has to manually be oriented and scaled, though I do not recall there being an option to do that for sections...
