Modeling Curtain Wall Systems in Revit
In this set of Revit tutorials you'll learn everything you need to become a pro at modeling curtain wall systems.
What you'll learn
In this set of Revit tutorials you'll learn everything you need to become a pro at modeling curtain wall systems. We'll begin with the basics and take a look at the curtain wall options available to you within the Revit Family Library. We'll learn how to work with storefront systems, exterior glazing, and the curtain wall tools. Once we've covered those three options, we'll use parametric modeling techniques to create custom parts that we'll use to create a customized storefront system. By the end of this course, you'll know how to model and control the curtain wall systems available in your Revit library. You'll also know how to create your very own parametric storefront system using custom mullion, glass panel, and spider clip families. And last but not least, you'll learn a few tips and tricks to help overcome some of the challenges you may face when working through a parametric modeling project.
