Having an issue with a curtain wall where the glazing and the door do not sit into the mullion where they should. See attached image showing the problem. The mullion is not a box however it would seem that revit draws an invisible box around the mullions extents and uses that for its left right placement of glazing and doors. I have tried editing the profile for the mullion and making the lines of the stop 'not a reference' but it does not fix the problem. I have also tried using referance planes in the mullion profile as well as the door panel to try and get a parameter to extend the panels further left and right but it does not seem to work. Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? Thanks for any help.
