Thank you so much, Sir, this is very useful for scheduling! I was so impressed with the idea that I went overboard: a. Instead of the cross you suggested, I created a thin hexagon (lines=1), just like the window tags, b. I made a new window tag w/o the hexagon (as it was redundant)... It was perfect!~P.S. It is really hard to do it with a Portuguese Family indeed!😂😂😂
Nice one! I have a house with a bunch of triangle shaped windows which are much easier to design as curtain walls. I will try your method for the schedule.
@@miketaylor8211 Since Revit doesn’t allow CW mullions other than "true" vertical or horizontal, is that why I see all these people doing YT video tutorials on how to create "wall panel systems" (or whatever else names they come up with) then change the parameters of the panels themselves to clear or translucent? I’ve used ACad for over 10 years and have been a commercial glazier for nearly 30. I’ve recently been playing around / trying to learn Revit, and I couldn’t ever figure out WHY, they were referring to them in that way. I just figured they didn’t know better, though a lot of them say that they’re architects. A lot of people on jobsites would use the terms storefront and curtainwall interchangeably, just not knowing any better. Just like I don’t know crap about plumbing and sheetrock, it’s not in my "wheelhouse" so to speak,,, lol.
@@shakeydavesr lol.. most people (newbie Architects included) use storefront and curtainwall interchangeably. You and I know that storefront is used typically for single story applications of glass and mullions.. with sometimes a door. Curtainwalls are typically multi-story exterior facade elements that anchor back to the floor slabs or the structure for support. Revit only has one tool that is expected to be used for both.
Great tip Sir!! Question for the skylight window on the roof deck. I have a "Room Location" on my schedule, but that skylight doesn't recognise the room, filling it blank. Any tip please?
The 'ROOM' object may only be 8'-0" tall.. so it's not touching the skylight. If you tell the extents (height) of the room to be taller, such that it touches the skylight... it may be able to see the room and report the room name into the 'Room Location' cell of your schedule.
thank you, i can only get this to work when placing the marker in plan view. but i need it to be showing in elevation. any ideas how? i've tinkered with visiblity settings of the lines and it still doesn't work.
Great now we have it in the window schedule but the problem is how to put it the legend... we used to make assemblies and then drag the view to the Legend sheet but the whole process is becoming manuel not automated so in large projects the chance of errors is very common
Umm there are curtain panel- doors and windows family types, I am using them right now and they show up in schedules and width and height parameters work automatically, maybe i am missing the point of this video and there is a reason to do it this way
How did you get all the window tags to all offset correctly from the walls on horizontal and vertical plan views as well as inside outside the walls? Are you able to share the family?
I HAVE CREATED AROUND 100S OF CURTAIN WALLS AS WINDOWS , HAVE CHANGED THE TYPE MARK OF EACH ONE AS PER NUMBER/CODE , TAGGED THEM AS A WALL LOOKING LIKE A WINDOW TAG , NOW I WANT TO MAKE A SCHEDULE OUT OF IT AS PER THE NAME AND DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS EACH WINDOW , COMBINED DOOR + WINDOW HAS. NOW IN THE SCHEDULES ALL THE DOORS I HAVE USED IN MY CURTAIN PANELS ARE SHOWING UP IN DOORS SCHEDULE , AND THE CURTAIN PANELS WHICH I HAVE TAGGED AS WINDOWS ARE IN CURTAIN PANELS SCHEDULE :-/ . I WANTED TO SHOW THEM ALL AS WINDOW OR DOOR+WINDOW COMBINED IN THE SCHEDULES AND TAG THEM AS PER THEIR NOMENCULATURE & DIMENSIONS. IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY????
I know you don’t want to hear this.. but it’s still a good idea to have a separate door schedule. Combining the two categories into a single schedule is very difficult (Multi-category schedule).
Hmmmm. I will look into this to see why sill and head height are not in that family. It may be as simple as adding a parameter or two to it. I’ll check.
I would try to add that as a Parameter to the same 'workaround' family... so you could just type in any Sill Height you wanted into the new parameter field and have it report to the schedule.
My gosh.....3 days and then found this Vid......and finally was able to fix my window schedule...this was a big HELP!!!!
THE ONE video of how to apply CW's into window schedules!!! Thank you sir!!!

Great job thinking outside the box!! We need more people like you in the world!!!
@@miketaylor8211 Thank you sir, keep inspiring people alwayz! I love your videos! 🔥🔥🔥
This is a big help! Been driving me nuts for years.
Wow. Boom, this is really a great workaround
OMG!!!!! you just saved me hours f stress .... thanks so much!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH VERY HELPFUL.I LIKE THIS WAY TO WORK EASY
Good on you mate, Thanks for sharing the ideas.
1 in. plus made my day.
Nice background though.
that was a crazy work around
Amazing!!! U r a life saver 😃
Nice one! I have a house with a bunch of triangle shaped windows which are much easier to design as curtain walls. I will try your method for the schedule.
Tringle windows would more likely be easier as a true window family. Revit doesn't allow mullions at an angle.. they must be vertical or horizontal.

Great perfectly resolved
Very nice!
very nice !
Thank you sir
BRILLIANT!
Great tip! could you make a shared parameter for the with and height of the curtain wall and put it into the marker? that should work?
Curtain walls are walls... so their Width and Height are set the same way that you set them for a wall... individually and not with a Tag. Sorry.
Great tip Sir!!

YOU ARE AWESOME THANKS!
you are awesome
Hey Mike! This was a great workaround. One more question..how to make it show the head height or sill height in the schedule?
thank you, i can only get this to work when placing the marker in plan view. but i need it to be showing in elevation. any ideas how? i've tinkered with visiblity settings of the lines and it still doesn't work.
That’s a good one. I was nearly thinking to custom make windows.
awesome, but can you make curtain wall legend too? I can't help it until now, I'm still confuse and playing around without goal
Yes... But there is a trick...Curtainwalls are Walls. You can make a Wall Schedule and filter it so that only curtainwalls show. :)
THANK YOU SO MUCCHHH

LOL! Great vid!
Can you add sill height to the curtain market as a parameter so it tags the height width and sill height?
Hey Mike will this same concept work for storefront doors? So instead of a window marker do a door marker?
How did you get all the window tags to all offset correctly from the walls on horizontal and vertical plan views as well as inside outside the walls? Are you able to share the family?

I HAVE CREATED A MARKER AS PER YOUR VIDEO , BUT UNABLE TO ADD SILL AND LINTEL LEVELS TO THE SCHEDULE
Hmmmm. I will look into this to see why sill and head height are not in that family. It may be as simple as adding a parameter or two to it. I’ll check.
Is there a way to have it show up to tag on the exterior elevations
Hi Mike, can the curtain wall also be represented in your window legend and not only in plans and schedules?
Sorry no. Curtain walls are walls. They can’t show up in the window schedule. :/
@@miketaylor8211 Is it due to the "hard coding" of Revit? You would think that they’d have figured it out by now.
Is their a workaround to add Sill Height?
I would try to add that as a Parameter to the same 'workaround' family... so you could just type in any Sill Height you wanted into the new parameter field and have it report to the schedule.
Good
In this instance, never use curtain walls when it’s not a curtain wall. This should be a HM or Alum door family. Period
too much menu work
