I have a curved Kawneer curtain wall that I need a dimension from a mullion center of core to another mullion center of core. The thing is…they are not parallel to each other.I have made drafting lines and dimensioned to them but this is not accurate.Aligned and linear dimensions also do not work accurately. Why does Revit not make this possible? Is there another way???

If you dimensioned them in Elevation the number would be wrong any way. What you can do is create an elevation of each panel and then dimension the panel. Assemble all the elevations into 1 composite elevation and you should be able to get it.

It any cad package you will have the same issue. What Revit will do and does well is give you a schedule of panel sizes. Now that might be a better way to get the same information.

I think the best way is to dimension the vertical mullions in plan using degrees and then dimension the horizontal mullions in section or elevation.  I would avoid the notion of creating an unwrapped elevation as it is inaccurate and fights the way Revit works.
