I'm reconstructing the Prada Aoyama building and can't figure out how to impliment the curtain wall system. The glass panels attached to the structural frame are warped in 3-dimensions, and the curtain wall grid is slanted.

I figure I should model the building envelope as one geometric mass, make walls-by-face from the 5 surfaces of the building, editing-wall-profile and make the lattice-frame shape with offset lines, then plug the warped window shapes into the frame as a component? Is this the right way to go about it? Obliged to whoever can help me figure this out.

Thanks

You have to use the "Conceptual Mass" and "Adaptive Componentes" to do that, check out this guy: http://buildz.blogspot.pt/search?updated-max=2010-10-21T22:54:00-04:00&max-results=7&start=97&by-date=false
