Hi

Is it possible to create a facade using mesh?? Trying to recreate the facade shown in the photo since I used morphs for that one which is problematic in plans and section drawings.

You could 'trace over' those morphs/meshes segments with curtain wall tool in 3D to get you close to what you want, I would say. Each segment would be an individual curtain wall. If you put these on projected rather than symbolic, your floorplan display should be correct.

It seems to be working so far! But how to I change the setting to projected rather than symbolic? Also, is it possible to change the settings so theres no frames inside the curtain wall so I can paint it over with a different surface?

Thanks for your help!

I suggest you get acquainted with the Curtain Wall tool first through tutorials and help menu.
no frames = select frames and make them invisible
projected/symbolic = "Floor plan and Section" in Settings Dialog.
