I can't help noticing real-world things that Revit cannot create without a workaround or using another program. This is often stairs and curvy stuff... but here is a storefront that looks simple, but Revit cannot create it (update: well, maybe it can:))!
I drove by this store yesterday and had to stop and take a photo.
In the YouTube video linked below, I show how we can come close to representing this real-world situation, which you would have to do, at the very least, if you are remodeling this store, right?
Update: The cool thing about sharing stuff like this is I often learn new things! I posted this on LinkedIn, and two people I have known for a long time, Dzmitry Chubryk and Heinrich Boldt, shared another (better) way of achieving this: with nested curtainwalls. Also, Alfredo Medina also shared anther idea I cover in the updated video linked below.
Here is an updated video showing another method to achieve this result: https://youtu.be/mrcCCM_d_9c
I still consider this a workaround. Revit would benefit from Autodesk improving the way curtain grids are added (see Revit Idea link below).
I also showed an option to use Revit's Groups and Deisng Options to manage a live version of the curtainwall frame types that can be dimensioned and placed on a sheet. This workflow is better all around compared to using phasing or design options to control visibility... see the video for more details:)
Here is a 10-minute video covering the workflow...
Of course, it would be great if Autodesk allowed us to create angled curtain grids... please up vote this related Revit Idea to let Autodesk know you agree: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/free-form-mullion-layout/idi-p/6364652
