I have a problem with creating a glass panel dome, actually that dome is the existing building "The Joe and Rika Mansueto Library", the problem is when I used a revolve method to created a mass then I created a curtain system on that mass and also created mullion on that system. The result was nice except thatthe horizontal  mullion place on the wrong way. I guess that the mullion follows the method of revolving when I have created a mass at first.

So, Is there anyone know how to fix this problem ? or Any suggestion for creating this building

PS: I have attached 2 pictures, one is the questionable model that I have made and another is the reference "The Joe and Rika Mansueto Library" building.

i would use the conceptual massing tool and create this form. you're not going to be able to recreate that pattern with a curtain system. well... unless maybe if you match that form better so it flares out near the bottom instead of being a revolved ellipse
