In this episode of BIM After Dark Live, Philip Chan returns to the show to break down one of Revit’s most misunderstood and under-used tool: the Curtain Wall system.
But we’re not talking about glazing.
Philip shows how to turn the Curtain Wall tool into a flexible modeling engine for custom design elements, alternative wall solutions, and advanced detailing workflows — even in places where you’d never think to use a curtain wall.
Whether you’re a small-firm architect, BIM manager, or power user, this session will unlock new ways to speed up modeling, improve design control, and simplify messy Revit problems.
