Hey guys, just wondering if any body could help me out with curving a curtain wall from top to bottom - i have tried creating a mass and then changing the face to a curtain wall but it would let me create it. I Can create the profile as a wall and then extrude it but not as a curtain wall.Here is an image of what im similarly after.It is the front curtain wall of the image.

You can create a "Mass" with that shape, then in "Massing and Site" just use the "Curtain System", select the face you want and click on "create" in the Top menu... Also, you can create an "IN-PLACE" family in Home>Component>Model in place, select the category you want then create a "Solid Extrusion" with that shape.

Typhoon, the only problem with this is that when i create the curtain system from selecting the face of a mass, it creates a curtain wall that is essentially 3 different angles rather than an arc?

Exactly, or you edit that curtain system and change/divide in more parts OR if you want a perfect arc/curve you need to create that in a "IN-PLACE" like i told you before.
