That post is about Openings and this one is about curtain wall panel doors. When people first make a curtain wall that is supposed to get a door they quite naturally assume the door tool is the right place to start. Curtain walls are special and they are made up of curtain grids, panels and mullions. Builds and Updates.

These divisions, while relevant to the architectural model, are ruining the possibilities of creating gbXML files without extensive work on the part of the engineer to remove the room separation lines, and then repair the damage done to the room names and numbers. However the Room Separations still existed. We just couldn’t see them.

Rooms and areas can be deleted in model views like floor plans and ceiling plans. Revit warns us that they have been deleted from the model but they are still listed in schedules. We can also create rooms and areas in a schedule view before there are any walls or boundaries available to define where they should go. Older Post.

I think that it is natural to be inclined toward building very parametric families. I have been struggling in the past with creating a window family that has an array of mullions, can be resized, setback from the wall face, etc. Start a project with the Default.rte (template) and create some walls, add a room. 10 comments: Nick.
