using Revit 2008

Trying to create a family for an equipment screen. C/S Vert-a-cade 301 has louvers every 6" horiz. mounted on 2.5x2.5 vertical angles. I've not had any trouble modeling the pieces of the screen, but I'm not sure whether to model them as a curtain wall panel, use the generic template, etc.

I'm uploading a file of the screen modeled as a curtainwall panel. I loaded it into my project and set up a curtainwall type to use this as the panel. However, I can't adjust the length of the panel. Even though the curtainwall is cleaning up at the corners the 20' panels are extending into space instead of mitering or butting into a corner mullion.

I don't know if I should keep the 2.5" angles in the same family as the louvers or define them as mullions. I wanted a good family where the height and length are adjustable, and the angles automatically space themselves max 6 ft apart. I don't like the way this is turning out as a curtainwall.

Help please
