    Default "Switching element type to Curtain element. All inserts in the element will be deleted."

    Hello everybody...
    I'm struggling with this statement:
    "Switching element type to Curtain element. All inserts in the element will be deleted."

    Usually this happens when I want to copy part of facade to another typical floor...,
    when instance of window family is located just next to curtain wall window.... After this statement the window copied to another floor is deleted...

    [I'm using a lot of curtain walls instead of ordinary windows for corner windows, located on rather irregular shaped building with non 90 degree corners, each different (that is many corners, each different angle...)]

    Any idea how to deal with this?

    Regards Frantisek Stafek.

    We are experiencing similar issues. We try to copy/paste or move copies of a window family to a different floor and receive the warning message.

    The first time it happened, the window had been located next to a curtain wall, but the curtain wall had already been deleted. The second time it happened, the window was part of a group.

    The only solution we've found is to delete the window causing the problem and place a new one. Has anyone else experienced this error, and have you found a better solution?
