    Curtain Walls

    Hi All,

    I am working on a project in which we are specifying a 10mm thick flat steel wrap surround to the windows. The windows themselves will have a 100 x 50mm frame with the flat steel to sit outside that. I would like to know if its possible to create a curtain wall system which i can have just the frame and no infill panel to use as the "window wrap"?

    Cheers

    Sure you can, make a curtain panel which is empty and add that to your curtain wall that surrounds your window

      Why not just create a.... window?

        It depends on if you believe that the wrap around the window is actually part of the window or something else.
        But I guess I would go with a nested Generic Model or window in the window family so you can make a window legend without the wrap if needed.

          Agreed, I do this all of the time and there are a couple of recent threads about "overlaid" curtain walls here that will help you. You can do just about anything with Revit curtain wall. In my 8 years of Revit use I have yet to ever have a need for a Revit window

            Dave, I think you are the first person I've seen on here who uses curtain walls for windows! very refreshing.

            I've been using Revit on a regular basis for about 3 years now, so there's still a few things I'm trying to get my head around, and creating an empty curtain panel is one of them, is this an easy process to achieve?

            The project im working on that requires this has had a curtain system created with the 10mm thick 250mm deep window wrap, which was made by a fella who left the office just after i started. He has created the wrap frame with an infill, so I'm assuming there's a way to modify this system to remove the infill?

            Cheers

              I'm weird in a lot of ways Regarding the Empty curtain panel, it is a built in OOTB curtain panel. Look in Project Browser/Families/Curtain Panels and there it is. I'm not quite sure what you are doing by your explanation so I'm not able to answer at this point. But I do know that if you select a glazed system panel curtain panel and unpin it, then in the Properties drop down find the Empty panel and replace it and you now have a hole with nothing in it. You can still Tab select it in case you need to change it back again though but visually there's nothing to see...If you could post a screen shot of what you are dealing with maybe I or someone else can get you a solution
