you need to do a 2012 version this is not working.

[ArchDesignLabs]

@MrTurrtleEdd It works the exact same way I promise. I use 2012 day in and day out and its the exact same process just make sure you are no missing a step.

@ArchDesignLabs I get to the point where I select the curtain wall but when I highlight the glass pane after tabbing threw the mullions I cant get the unpin icon. Also another part of my design involves adding a revolving door into a glass external wall, are you able to make a video for this?

[ArchDesignLabs]

@MrTurrtleEdd Check up top when you click the pane to see if the option highlights where the buttons are. I am currently working on my Architecture Thesis so I dont have much time to do a video but putting a revolving door in is the same. The only difference is that you need to create your own curtain panel door family, then model the revolving door. When you load that into the project you will be able to replace a pane with the revolving door.

When I select the panel, there is no option to unpin. When I use the modify tab to attempt to do it, the "unpin" button is faded out. Can you think why this is? It's on a curved curtain wall, is this why?

[ArchDesignLabs]

@Mouse7989 Make sure you are actually selecting the glass panel and not just a random portion of the wall. I tried it on a curved wall and it still works fine. Make sure you are doing the correct steps and you should be ok.
