2.After drawing the reference line, the sun cursor appears: click with the sun cursor to define the “outside” of the Curtain Wall.

To change the pitch of a placed Curtain Wall, you can free-rotate the Curtain Wall in the 3D window.

See Free-Rotate Curtain Wall.

Alternatively, select the Curtain Wall and change the angle value in Curtain Wall Settings (Geometry and Positioning panel).

To trim the ends of the walls by joining them to the Curtain Wall, use the Join Wall(s) to Curtain Wall function.

See Example: Join Slanted Curtain Wall to Side Walls.
