Some questions about curtain wall

[Anonymous]

I don't have idea how can i do some things in AC, which are matched with curtain wall.
1) Is it posible to rotate boundary around it's longitudinal axes like on the picture below
2) how can I change the reference line of curtain wall, because I can't match it in shape I want if reference line is in the midle of frame. I want to start with outer edge of curtain wall.

As you see I'm very new with curtain wall tool. I've got more questions like
- I need intersection between two CW, and intersection between CW and solid wall. How? I've tried design/modify curtain wall/create common frames(connect wall) but is not working. What am I doing wrong? Anyone for help!?

Me again

I understood big parts from tutorials, but i have specific situation which I can't resolve, and I need help. I have slanted wall and slanted CW (both 80 degrees). In floor plan they are not orthogonal. I can't match them in model. What should I do? Hope you understand problem, but I'll show it on picture.

I am assuming you want the curtain wall to grow to meet the regular wall so it will be trapezoid in elevation.
In CW editing mode

Make environment visible so you can see the regular wall.
Have only the Scheme visible
Stretch the upper corner of the heavy frame until it hits the wall. The cursor will show the Perpendicular symbol when it does.

I was trying that over and over time before i posted a problem, but nothing. There is no perpendicular symbol because two walls are not perpendicular in floor plan. Even more both of them are slanted. I explained it in previous message.

Davor,
Try the following:
I drew 2 regular walls, the second one aligns with the CW, both slope @ 80° and in plan meet at an arbitrary acute angle.
I used the intersection of the wall the parallels the CW to give me a snap point when I adjust the frame of the CW.

You can delete the second wall when done.

Erika thank you for helping, but nothing again. I have done everything like you said, but intersection of two walls doesn't give me snap point. I suppose you'll think that my snap option is disabled but it isn't. On other tools all snap points works fine. I see a section in your picture. What for you used it. Scheme isn't available to modify in section plans, just in 3D. Isn't it?
Can't believe that i'm not able to do this action, which doesn't look too complicated
