    Unable to restore/control curtain system offset from mass face: revit 2017.2

    Hi folks, first time poster for help and support. Thank you for looking into the thread and your input.

    My problem is that whenever I apply a generic curtain system onto the face of a mass, an offset is generated that I cannot control.

    I have a conceptual mass where I am attempting to apply a generic curtain wall system onto the face of the mass. The 'MAIN' mass is made of 2 masses, 1 stacked on top of another. 2 'VOID' masses create chamfers in the 'MAIN' mass via geometry cut.



    In the next image, I've applied the generic 1500x300 fixed grid distance curtain system. you can see in the plan 'diagram' that there is an offset between the 'white' curtain system and the 'blue' highlighted mass.



    I want to be able to control this offset. I want the curtain system to be flush to an interior, exterior, or wall centerline. At the moment I have no control of this. If these curtain systems are to be room bounding, they will affect my area on a building that is ie: 40+ story.

    Thanks,

    - Billy

    The offset works just like Curtain Walls. It's not the wall itself but the panels and mullions that creates that "offset"

      "flush to an interior, exterior, or wall centerline" ?? What do you want flush with wall geometry, and in what direction? The offset between the face of the curtain system "mullions" and the face of the mass is a product of the mullion profile location in relation to the Center (Front/Back) family ref plane. I'm not understanding from your screen shots where the offset that you don't want is occurring
      I'm retired, if you don't like it, go around!
