Hey guys so I'm pretty new to Revit and for a class project we were asked to model a tower/building.  I decided to go witht the Petronas Towers.  I have the basic structure all made using the conceptual massing tools and its imported to a project.  I'm trying to apply a nice looking glass paneling so that it looks somewhat realistic.  Whats the best way about applying such a paneling?  Should I just use the curtain wall feature on all of the faces?  And I don't exactly have the time/experience to make my own curtain wall so is there a default one that should work fine for what I need?

Thanks for any help/information!

There are two main tools for curtain walls. The default one only allows vertical panels. You can create your own, its not really hard, just google it a lot of videos, tutorials, step by step will come out.

If you need advanced curtain walls (for example, a curved facade or a inclined curtain wall) for the proyect you need then go to the autodesk page and learn the basic of the mass environment and adaptive panels. A good site for studying that its buildz.blogspot.com. , i ve learn a lot from there. Hope it helps
