Hey there! I need to do a shopfront where the glass panels are outside the mullions. These pictures will explain better the problem. Basically I need to join the two glasses. I know that I can create 1 curtain wall for the glass and another curtain wall for the mullions and put them togheter but it doesn´t seem like the smart way to do it. If anyone of you guys can help me I would apreciate it a lot!

TThanks!!

I am using Revit 2012.

You can use the storefront family type and then edit the family to input the mullions on the interior or exterior.

If you mean you don't like that gap then you have to create your own mullion profile.  When you do that, you will see this in the family:

Curtain Panels are trimmed to where the profile sketch intersects the Center (Front/Back) Ref Plane.

I don't see how you will overcome this but you can experiment with your profile.  Let us know what you learn.
