Hi, I am fairly new at working with Revit and I find these forums very helpful. I am trying to create a curtain wall with metal panels that wraps a cube on 5 of its sides (4 vertical and 1 bottom). I have 2 questions on how to construct the panels. 1. I am using mitre joints at corners, thus some panels have one side at 45 degrees while others will have 2 adjacent sides at 45 degrees. The problem is that the panels are hollow on the inside and I don't know how to extrude a void with 2 adjacent sides at 45 degrees?2. To construct the corner panels (one side at 45 degrees) I modified the family of a typical rectangular panel. In the family edit file I have 4 reference planes for each side and a center reference plane. For some reason when I load it back into the project one of the sides does not follow the curtain wall grids. What can I do to make sure that every time I modify my curtain wall grid lines, the panels will follow?Thanks a lot

after you build your extrusion you could use a void to cut the other 45 degree panel edge

I don't know how big this cube is but I may have modeled all the faces as the panel and done all the mullions as one in-place family. May be simplier than using the CW. If it a large cube and you have doors in the side, I would do the sides as CW and do the bottom in-place and all of the unique mullions in place.

The cube is 7x6x5.6 m and each panel is around 1.5x1.5m. There are doors and windows on the sides. I will try the CW + in place panels and mullion for the bottom. About my second questions, do i have to use parameters or lock the sides of the panel to the reference plane in order for my panel to always fall between the CW grid lines? Right now I have 3 sides that respect my CW grid lines and one side that just goes beyond.
