  6. Select the 2nd Curtain wall and click on edit type , Change the Curtain Panel = Empty System Panel: Empty. (to delete the glass , because the glass is already in the 1st Curtain Wall)

 then go to the elevation, select the 1st curtain wall and click on edit type , make sure it say automatically embed (with tick)



There you should get it properly cut out.
