Click on that "curtain System" and you will see "Configure grid layout" icon, just click on that icon then you can change the angle like you need...

thank you. but I find it a little complex, because I have to align every faces.  

 Is there some more directly ways to make the mullion systems ? look I have made the curtain pattern in rhino, all the lines in the faces have already set. can I just use the pattern lines derectly in revit, so I didn't remake all the mullion lines in revit again?

Are you familiar with vasari or mass editing in revit? you can do that layout in that environment, then load it into revit proyect environment.

Mass-->lines by proyection. Still... its going to be a curtainwall angled, but you will have the hability to edit it as much your design need.

If you already done that in rhino, why notimporting it to revit to get the correct cut/elevation/plans? you have to give it someticnkess to the glass, and some profile in the layout of the steel structure.

sorry I don't know much about you what you said "vasari or mass editing" do you mean that as my picture ?

acctually what I did in revit is that, first covert the rhino model to sketchup model, then in revit

Then go to "Componet" under the Basics toolbar, the "Create in place", select "Generic Models".  Then go file->import cad fomrats-> sketchup model.  Make sure that "Current View Only" and "Link" are both unchecked.  select the sketchup file and click open.  click "Finish Family"  and thats all that i did.  Now i went to wall, then chose by face and it worked for me just fine. 

that's is how I make the shape in revit, I don't if there have some simpler ways to make my model. 

and revit seems never can drawing with out a working face. that's why I have load all the model from the sketchup model.
