Fixed Edge Detail Issue with Variable Panel Sizes in Curtain Wall Systems

Cazer_36

When I load this custom panel I created with the Curtain Wall tool into the system, the edge details deform proportionally (scale) as the panel dimensions change. How can I ensure that the edge bends (3.3) and joint clearances (1.0) remain fixed even when the panel’s width and height change?

Without a little bit of GDL scripting there is no chance to generate multiple sizes from one custom panel. (well, height is probably less of an issue here)

You can either make as many panels as sizes needed, or you figure out GDL. Which is fun, but the CW stuff is not really beginner friendly at all.

I created a profile for this with param-o as a test.

The 3d is ok, there is a little error in the offset of the first panel in planview
