    Default Doors or Windows - What to Use

    Hi All,

    The project I am currently working on is a medium size retirement home. For some reason one of the senior technicians insists on doing all exterior doors and windows as a window families, and all interior doors and screens – as door families.
    The technician doesn’t use Revit.
    I have done such a thing before – on my previous project; but apart from that for all my previous projects I used doors for doors and windows for windows.

    Does anyone of you have an opinion on this issue?

    And one more question – if you have a door and window composition from a room to a balcony, what category do you usually create your family as?

    Thanks in advance!

    Doors should always be created using door family template and windows as windows. For the balcony situation You have 2 choices. Create the door and sidelite as individual families and place them separately or create the whole thing in one family using the door template.
