Hi, I have a somewhat complex mass that I have imported from Rhino that I am trying to develop a curtain system on in Revit.  I noticed that I can select the individual faces of the entire curtain system from the mass and change the angle of the grid, but is there a more precise and less tedious way of getting a grid to space consistently across many faces?  Or, should I try to model this instead with curtain walls within Revit?  In that case, what would the best strategy be?

This is actually an existing building (saxo bank by 3xn) that I'm modelling as a case study / to learn Revit better.  

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply but I don't think you can align grids with the align tool but you can set an offset to the grids in the curtain system instance properties
