      attached is my first attempt at a curtain wall dc. The problem i am having is that i can scale in the red direction and the dc copies the curtain wall as it should. i'd like to also have the capability of coping in the blue direction so that the panels copy horizontally and vertically up the wall. How to do this?

          This is a DC issue.
          There are other examples around of 'tiling' elements in two directions... bricks, blocks, tiles, windows they are all the same Euler-istically...
          Find them and see how they do it...

            Thanks all

            Attached is my latest. As you can see i have an "end" piece that requires not to be tiled like the others, it copies once in the X direction, but needs to copy at the end of each row in the Z direction.

              There are also some examples of 'tiling' DCs that make odd sized pieces to fill in at start/end locations... search the DC posts...
