In this tutorial, we will show you how to draw and replace irregular curtain wall panels in Revit in just two simple steps.
Step 1: Draw the irregular curtain wall panels.
Start by clicking on the File menu and creating a new family.
Locate and open the Metric Curtain Wall Panel template.
Switch to the elevation view.
Use the stretch tool to shape the irregular curtain wall panel according to your design.
Note that the dimensions of the irregular panel must match the curtain wall grid size to allow proper replacement. In this example, we set it to 1500 mm.
Once done, click the Finish button.
In the properties panel, set the stretch endpoint to 10, the start point to -10, and change the material to glass. Then, click OK.
Align the reference line with the stretched shape, then load the family into your project.
Switch to elevation view in your project, hover over the grid line on the left side of the curtain wall panel you want to replace, and press the Tab key repeatedly until all four edges are highlighted.
Click to select the curtain wall panel, then change its type to the custom family you just created.
And that’s it — you have successfully replaced the irregular curtain wall panel.
