Hi Ritesh,

Thank you for your help. However I was not able to download the package you mentioned.

When I was posting this question, I was thinking just use a generic curtain wall family . As shown in the first image, I set up an instance parameter ā€œAngleā€ to drive the angle of the curtain wall panel. And then load this family into the project file.

So in Dynamo, if we can assign right value to "Angle " parameter , then we can get what I expect as shown in the third image (using Element.SetParameterByName) . I donā€™t know how to assign a list of values according to the location of different curtain wall panels or baguettes.

Will this approach work? Thank you so much! Kui
