Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 - Curtain Wall Type

Trying to create a Louver system, but struggling with arrays and formulas and parameters in a Revit family?


Try using the Curtain Wall tool instead!



  • Create a custom mullion type (Select a mullion>Element Properties>Type Properties>

  • Specify the Louver angle under ‘Angle’ and the size of the louver under Thickness and Width.





  • Now create a new Curtain Wall Type and check ‘Automatically Embed’, the Panels to ‘Empty Panel’, Set the spacing as desired, Border Mullions to None and Interior Horizontal mullion to this custom mullion type.

  • And there it is!
