Step 1: Open an Appropriate View
Floor Plan or Elevation View:
Open a floor plan (e.g., Level 1) or an elevation view from the Project Browser. This view provides a clear display of walls where you want to place your curtain wall.
Step 2: Activate the Wall Tool and Select a Curtain Wall Type
Navigate to the Architecture Tab:
On the ribbon, click the Architecture tab.
Select the Wall Tool:
Click on the Wall icon in the Build panel.
Choose a Curtain Wall Type:
In the Properties palette (or Type Selector), click the drop-down menu and choose a curtain wall type (commonly named something like Curtain Wall: Default or a project-specific curtain wall type).
If a suitable curtain wall type isn’t available, you can load one by clicking Load Family under the Insert tab and selecting a curtain wall family from the Revit library.
Step 3: Place the Curtain Wall
Draw the Curtain Wall:
With the curtain wall type active, click to define the start point of the wall.
Move your cursor along the desired path and click again to set the end point.
Revit will place the curtain wall with a default grid pattern that divides the wall into panels.
Verify Placement:
Ensure the wall aligns with your design intent.
You can always adjust its position using the Move or Modify commands.
Step 4: Modify the Curtain Grid
Select the Curtain Wall:
Click on the curtain wall to activate the Curtain Wall Tools on the ribbon.
Edit the Grid Layout:
Add or Remove Grid Lines:
Use the Add Curtain Grid or Remove Curtain Grid commands available in the Modify | Curtain Wall Tools tab to adjust the number and layout of grid lines.
Adjust Grid Spacing:
Click on a grid line and drag it to reposition, or select it and modify its spacing in the Properties palette.
Customize Panels and Mullions:
Panels: You can change the panel type by selecting a panel and adjusting its properties or by editing the panel style in the curtain wall’s type properties.
Mullions: To add, remove, or modify mullions, use the Add Mullion tool from the Curtain Wall Tools tab. You can select an existing mullion to modify its properties, such as profile or material.
Step 5: Finalize and Review
Review in 3D:
Switch to a 3D view (press F3 or select a 3D view from the Project Browser) to examine the curtain wall in context. Check that the grid, panels, and mullions appear as desired.
Make Additional Adjustments:
If needed, return to the plan or elevation view to fine-tune the curtain grid, adjust wall lengths, or modify the curtain wall’s properties.
Use grips or the Move/Align tools to reposition the curtain wall if required.
Additional Tips
Loading Custom Curtain Wall Families:
If the default options don’t meet your needs, go to Insert → Load Family to load additional curtain wall families, which may offer unique grid configurations or panel styles.
