I am working on a project that requires the use of a panel system.  I have a few questions that I can't figure out.

I have created a the wall form I was looking to acheive and I attempted to add a curtain panel system to it but it wasn't following the flow of the wall I was creating.

Here are the questions.

Is there a way to create the panels without have to make them individually?

Is there a way to create a custom panel to use in the curtain wall tool?

     I would like the panels to be perferated.

In the curtain system how do you add materials to the panels?

Lastly, am I even going about this the right way, using the curtian wall tool?

If there are any tutorials or anything that could help it would greatly be appreciate.

Right I can answer a few of these questions but not all.

1.  change the panel in the modify type dropdown from 'glazed' to 'solid' (or apply it in element properties).  If you then select the panel and check it's element properites you can then change it's material.

2.  when you change material if you use a pre-set metal you can add perferations in it's render appearence setting

3. you can change them all by then editing your curtain wall before you draw it to the panels you've created or use 'isolate category' / 'select all instances' and change it like that

Im not sure what you mean by not following the flow of your wall could you attach an image ?(from a guess you could either use 'change profile' or set the grid pattern to a smaller amount to help fit a complex path)hope this helps
