Hi guys,

I am currently working on a piece of coursework and I have run into two problems which I am struggling to sort out.

1. The first problem I have is that I am not sure how to cut curtain walling to a custom shape. The diagram I have attached is the area I am trying to fill with the curtain walling and I am not sure how to shape the glass to fill that space.

2. The second problem I have is that I wan't to create a sloped wall - you can see from the diagram that I have just put a floor there for now, as I know how to create a sloped floor but I need to place a wall there as I need to place a door on that wall. I am sure there is a simple way to do this.

I thought it would be better to create this one thread and ask two questions which most guys around here will probably find easy to answer instead of creating two separate threads. Thank you for any help in advance, it is much appreciated.

1. Create a curtain wall, select that curtain wall and click on "Edit Profile" then modify the shape OR with your TAB key select only the panel, look at the ribbon and you'll see a "Edit extrusion" button, click on it, now, select again the panel and at ribbon there is a "edit extrusion" button, click on it and draw the new shape like you want.

2. Home > Component > model in-place, select "wall" category and create the wall with "Extrusion" OR you can create a "Mass" and then use the "Wall by face".

BTW... your image is an "Elevation view" right?
