What do you really know about Curtain Wall? Probably never heard of it before ayy? Neither did I hear of it before until I came across this industry. The reason being why I decided to do a blog on this is that we see it around us everyday, yet some of us might have no idea what we are looking at. Basically it is associated with Building and Construction and plays a vital role in the appearance of buildings and Skyscrapers. Read further on and find out more about Curtain Wall.

Curtain Wall Louvers or How to Avoid Arrays

I think that Phil Read is the first person I saw reveal this technique many years ago now, probably at Autodesk University but it may have been at AUGI in a thread, I just don't remember now.



The essence of this tip is using a curtain wall type to define a series of mullions that pose as louvers. The special curtain wall type is then swapped out for other panels in a larger host curtain wall. The mullions are defined as new types as well, one for a louver and one for the perimeter framing if necessary. It is important to use the Empty Panel for the Default Panel parameter so that there are no panels in the louver curtain wall, just mullions. I posted a VIDEO and you can listen and watch here now if you prefer.
