In the past, I've always used a Panel Railing Wall but generally for situations where it's more like a "StoreFront Window Wall" than a "Curtain Wall". The Panel contains the horizontal members and the glass while the Newels are the vertical members. The only thing I don't really like about Glenn's method is that it requires that the window wall is "Framed".
The Panel Railing Wall will work for just about any height but you have to define the panel correctly to get the horizontal mullions at the right heights and sizes. If placed outside of an invisible wall it could be stacked as needed.
ps: There are other threads on the "StoreFront Window" concept.Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA
