Add curtain system

Rhino.Inside Revit

Hi all, do we have an “Add curtain system” button in RIR? If we have, how can we use it with predefined curtain grid lines in Rhino?
What I want to do is to add some horizontal aluminum panels with none equal grid lines(as shown)

Hi Jack_Zeng,

We do have a feature request for ‘By Face’ Curtain System components, but no native components at this time.

I see, thanks. I wonder if there is any alternative ways to achieve this…cos I am not going to create a new curtain system. I just want to apply an existing curtain system on a new massing. I wonder if there is something like “add component family” can load an existing curtain system family on to a new massing.

you can switch out the type of your existing Curtain System with the Element Type component.

Element Type to switch walls by doesn’t work for walls created with wallbyface…
It shows : 1. :check_mark: Wall type “Curtain Wall 1” is incompatible with picked face. Only basic wall types are accepted. {8780, 15138}

Hi @遲了悔改

I believe not every wall type is compatible.

You can run a quick check using the following method

collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(WallType).ToElements()

valid_wall_types = []
for wt in collector:
    try:
        if DB.FaceWall.IsWallTypeValidForFaceWall(doc, wt.Id):
            valid_wall_types.append(wt)
    except Exception:
  
        pass
valid_wall_type_names = [wt.Name for wt in valid_wall_types if hasattr(wt, "Name")]

Yeah…. found that out the hard way …. I swap to create a slanted wall with profile instead of wall by face which doesnt do curtainwalls.
