Segmented Closed Curtain Wall Advice Wanted

Aaron Bourgoin

Until AC22 arrived, I've built curtain wall segments a=s straight pieces and then connected them by creating "Common Frames".

A closed polygonal curtain wall facade seems much easier in 22. with the new graphic interface for scheme settings, but how does one get the last corner to behave like the other three? To get this I established a pattern with a straight line segment and them magic handed those settings on the Floor plate Zone.

Yes, I encountered the same. I think it is a limitation since those are the starting and ending node of the Curtain Wall Reference Line.
I think you will need to enter Edit Mode and adjust the Boundary Frames there.

Or, maybe you could create the Curtain Wall so it starts and ends mid-segment. That way it will create all Corners properly.

Laz,

Thanks for responding.I think your latter suggestion about starting somewhere in the middle is likely the best way. I'll try that.
