Unfortunately what you are showing in the video clip (creating a Curtain Wall onto a ruled surface) is not possible to do in ArchiCAD. You can create a ruled surface from Shell and Morph elements, but you cannot do the same with a Curtain Wall element, there is no such geometry option available for it.
Your best bet may be to model it in an application that can do it and import that geometry.

So glass with a ruled morph/shell. Create your mullions with slanted collumns on the places you would want them and transoms could be done with beams or walls.

Or if you really want to muscle down, create the scheme with a simple surface morph and morph-lines and then draw the individual panels with curtain walls.

Or if it is simple schematic with holes punched in, maybe try a shell with emtpy rooflights as openings?
