Creating siMPle Curtain Walls 515

Spandrel and Shadowbox often in glazing applications, the spacing of horizontal mem-
bers will consist of a pattern including a narrow band or spandrel to mask the floor and
ceiling sandwich. revit software does not currently have the ability to define two spacing
values, but you can create the spandrel or shadowbox in a single panel family. in the example
shown here, the spandrel height is a type property of the custom panel family. standard
mullions are applied to the wall.

Louvers our last example shows how metal louvers can be embedded in a curtain panel
family. The image shown here is a panel developed with a nested generic model. The louver
fins are arranged in a parametric array within the generic model, and then the generic model
is placed in the panel. The edges of the louver array are constrained to the reference planes in
the panel. This parametric louver curtain panel was downloaded from RevitCity.com.
