Hey guys... I want my panels overlap mullions because when I add a corner mullion, it simply put away my painels and that's terrible... take a look in attachments.

(I want glass painels to be IN FRONT of mullions)

You can make gaps by making mullions made of "air" material and turn their visibility off.

But the problem is: it is offsetting to inside... I need to offset panels to outsite, to overlap the mullions

Hi

1. Create a curtain wall type with border mullions with width corresponding to the halfwidth of the joint you want. 

2. Use this curtain wall type as a curtain panel in type properties for the main curtain wall that you want to create. Now you have nested curtain wall as panels. 

3. Add mullions to the curtain wall, offset them to move them behind the nested panels.

This is how you can achieve the effect in the attached picture.

4. This will work only with vertical curtain walls, so it is not universal workaround for any type curtain system (sloped walls, roofs, etc.)

Have a nice day modelling in Revit
