You can edit a system panel in place. Yes that means you can select a curtain wall's system panel like Glass or Solid and then Edit-in-Place. Do you have a quirky design situation somewhere on your curtain wall and want to just make the change right there without creating a new panel family and loading and swapping? You can!
et Voila!
Not the right solution for multiple versions of this but when one (or a few) is all you are dealing with, not bad?!
- Select the panel (unpin if defined by the CW type)
- Click Edit in Place
- You'll find you are in Sketch Mode
- Select and edit the solid form for glass/solid or
- Create another form/void to design the custom panel
- Assign Sub-category(ies)
- Assign Material(s)
- Finish the modelling
- Finish the in-place editing
et Voila!

Thanks Steve
That helped me a bit along the way to understanding Revit Curtain walls(panels anyhow)
But how did you make the mullion into the dog leg shape you show on your diagram
I cna now edit the panels well but the members of the custom wall are still a abit of a mistery
Added a short video discussing what I did.
Hey, Steve, this is very cool. I had noticed that a panel could be edited in place. Thanks, as always!
Steve, I already used this tip that I learned from you. Look at this thread in Augi:
