Alright so my client is requesting a portal design for her high rise building with a big ol' curtain wall in the center at the top, please refer to image attachment. The problem is the circular mullion in the center of the curtain wall. I can't seem to model it at all. I've found a circular window RFA file but as you know it won't attach to a curtain wall, only a regular wall. Any ideas or references that I may follow up with to make this "classical" piece a reality for her.

The image is not attached anywhere so I have no reference to what you are doing.

 

I dont have much experience with pattern based curtain walls and from what you have said it seems like you are creating a regular square pattern curtain wall but in the center there is a circular window.

You could try creating a custom square panel with the circular mullion built inside the custom family itself. Then you can replace the panel you want with the custom one and should work out pretty well.

Thank you I will try this out. As for the image, I've attached it 3x now and nothing seems to be showing up I'm not sure why or how to fix that.
