FOR THE CURTAIN WALL TOOL IS THERE A WAY TO EDIT HEIGHT WITHOUT REDRAWING THE ENTIRE WALL. ALSO I HAVE THE WALL SET UP TO SHOW THE SPIDER CLIPS BUT THEY DONT SHOW...

You can't change it by a height setting. Instead in the 3D window edit the boundry frame.

To edit the boundary of the Curtain Wall in 3D, you will have to make the Scheme visible. It is more convenient to hide the Frames and Panels at the same time. Then it will be easy to see the thick boundary of the Curtain Wall which you can edit like any other polygon in AC.

how do you create a curtain like the one shown in the sample picture. in the setting box it will only let you rotate horizontal elements.... i want a 45/45 basically x pattern.

Ummm... WHICH sample picture? Very few mind readers present here. 😉

Also... please do not start new topics with the same name as an old topic which you also started. Use a subject name that accurately describes the gist of your question. I've merged your two curtain wall topics for now...

I was told it was done with AC10, pre CW.

Hi, not sure if this helps, but you can easily change the horizontal members to 45 degrees in the properties section, in the area where you define the sizes of the members. I have however not found how to modify the vertical members, I do vaguely remember there being something to do with that in the ArchiCAD help under Curtain Wall but am not sure if it fully answers your question.
