Not possible to apply Curtain Wall to a SmartLine with curves

Hello,

Apparently it is not possible to assign a Curtain Wall to a SmartLine with curves using Place By: From Element, see attached image.

I am trying to get a smooth connection at the curve, see marked area.

Any logical explanation why it is not possible to place a Curtain Wall on a SmartLine with curves??

  • Hello Nasir,

    Thank you for asking the question. We'll be moving the question to proper queue so that a SME can explain the same

  • So after 14 days there is still no explanation about this?

  • Hello Nasir, 

    We have a defect filed regarding the curtain wall not taking the complex line while placement by element.

  • Hi Nasir,

    sorry for the delay. I would assume that if a smartline was allowed by the tool the curtain wall spacing calculation would be disrupted by the start/end points of each smartline segment.

    Convert the smartline to a b-spline and it only has one start and end point so can calculate correctly.

    This video can now also be found at Curtain Walls - Convert SmartLine to b-spline to allow placement

    Not sure, but the curtain wall panels on the curved segment of the B-spline are faceted (straight sections in plan)?

    It would be good to generate arc'd panels to match the radii of the original Smartline. Not sure if this included on Alifur's defect notification?
