Curtain Wall but no Storefront?

[pachecoe.218071]

I am using Revit Structure 2010. It seems with earlier releases under curtain wall there was a family called storefront that you could insert into a wall in either elevation/3d view and it would cut into a wall just like a window can do. I don't know if it's a template thing or not because I'm using revit structure but I can't seem to find it in any of the imperial family folders. I know this is available in revit architecture. Is there somewhere I can download it (rte or rfa) from the web?

Thanks in advance!

The ability for a curtainwall to cut into a wall can be set for any curtainwall type - in the Type Properties, check "Automatically Embed". The Storefront type has that checked, and has a defined pattern of curtain grids and mullions - there's nothing else special about it.

edit: It would be in your DefaultImperial2010.rte template file (or Structural equivalent), unless it's been removed from Structural.

Hi Daniel,
Sorry about the late reply but what I did was load revit 6.1 (yeah, that long ago!) and did the transfer project standards and brought in the curtain wall with the storefront type I was looking for. Like you mentioned autodesk did take the types out of the curtain wall system family. That's too bad, not sure it was hurting anything to be in the structural template. Oh well, it's autodesk's call I guess.
