How to Add Vertical Braces to Curtain Walls in Revit
If your project in Revit includes a curtain wall, you might want to enhance its appearance by adding vertical braces. Here’s how you can do that effectively.
Start by entering the facade view. Use reference lines to mark the locations where you want to place the vertical braces. These reference lines will help you position the curtain wall grid accurately by snapping to them.
When adding vertical braces, it’s important to first draw the curtain wall grid. Only after the grid is in place can you add vertical braces based on that grid.
Select the curtain wall grid tool and choose the reference lines you have drawn previously.
Next, select the vertical mullion tool and snap it to the curtain wall grid you created. This completes the process of adding vertical braces to the curtain wall.
Summary:
To add vertical braces on a curtain wall, you must work on the curtain wall grid first. The grid itself is created by snapping to reference lines, which allows for flexible control over the position of the vertical braces. The recommended workflow is:
- Draw the reference lines first.
- Create the curtain wall grid by picking those reference lines.
- Finally, add the vertical braces by snapping to the grid.
