RE: Parametric louvers in curtain panels?
Has anyone yet found a way around this?
I'm trying to nest a sunshade family in a curtain wall glazed panel family, so I can turn it on and off by type or instance. But since the glazed panel width is not exposed in the curtain wall glazed panel family, I have to build my sunscreen directly in the glazed panel family which precludes turning it on and off.

You can control the visibility using yes/no parameters. Just the same as if you nested them.
RE: Parametric louvers in curtain panels?
I know this is an old thread, but I was hunting around for other ideas and I hit it. I figured I would record a different approach here for posterity. When I had this issue I used a custom mullion profile to create my louver fins. I made a new curtain wall type called "Louvers" which has the fin as the interior mullions and a simple frame for the perimeter and nothing for the panels. I used has type-driven dimensions to keep the spacing of the fins. Once this type is embedded in a larger curtain wall, it automatically gets the spacing, adding and removing mullions (fins) as required. Worked pretty well for us.
