Yes,' it is possible.
Not automatically,' but it is not too difficult.

Are the sides slanted?

If this is the Mass of the building, then you will probably create 4 Curtain Walls: 2 for the 2 straight sides and 2 additional ones for the 2 circular parts of the building.

It can be difficult, if the "circular" parts are "conical"

First, thank you all for responses.

Well, all the sides are slanted and two sides are curved.

I saw a similar structure being constructed for the Bangaluru Airport in Southern India a few months ago.

Was almost certain the structure was being designed in Archicad. But have been unable to design myself something similar in Archicad.

I would really prefer to use Curtain Wall system only.

Most of your potential responders will have real jobs and took the weekend off. So don't give up on us yet.

While waiting, study this for insight:
