If the wall is showing up backward (if the wall appears gray), then you need
to physically flip the entire curtain wall To do so, go to the Level 1 West plan and select the curtain wall After you select the wall, you can click the little double arrow in the middle of the wall as shown in the following graphic This will flip the direction of the entire curtain wall
With the panels in place, it is time to start filling in the mullions—which brings us to our next step: adding mullions to the grid
Adding Mullions to the grid
The next logical step is to create the mullions that will be attached to the grid we just added Since we have a few areas where there should not be any mullions, the job becomes more tedious
The next example could go one of two ways One procedure will involve adding
mullions piece by piece, whereas the other procedure will allow you to add
mul-lions all at once and then delete the mulmul-lions you do not need This procedure will take the latter approach; we’ll add the mullions all at once and then remove the superfluous mullions

shown in Figure 16.35

With the mullions added, we have actually gone too far! There is now an alu-minum extrusion that separates the CMU from the adjacent brick The objective
of the next procedure is to remove these pieces of mullion
1 Zoom into an area where the CMU meets the brick, as shown in
Figure 16.37
2 Select the small mullion piece that lies between the brick and the CMU
(You will have to press the Tab key several times to accomplish this.)
3 With the mullion selected, notice you can either modify the join (as
shown in Figure 16.37) or you can press the Delete key and remove the mullion In this case, delete the mullion Repeat the procedure for other similar areas

So, what have we accomplished here? Well, we have embedded a predefined curtain wall to a radial profile, and we have added a curtain system to a giant glass panel by hand The only thing left to do is to apply a curtain wall to a slop-ing surface
Adding a Wall to a Massing object
Sometimes in architecture, artistic expression is required on a project, such as curved and laterally sloping walls that cannot be accomplished using straight, linear components Most of the time some form of expression will be added to a project We need to be able to deal with that in Revit, and we can!
Trang 4The process involved in adding a sloped wall is to first create a massing object,
and then apply the wall to the face of that object The objective of the next
pro-cedure is to create a mass along the south entrance of the building

Now that the view is set up, we can take full advantage The objective of the
next exercise is to place a mass After we place the mass, we can add a wall and a
roof to it
