Hi,

I'm doing a small retail facade renovation. I have three small strips of storefront, which act as windows. I have generated a storefront schedule based on a wall schedule. While fields of the schedule state the "length" of each run, it leaves "width" blank (doesn't list the depth of the mullions) and doesn't allow me to select/illustrate the field for height.

How do I get a field showing the height to appear?

Thanks,
Derek

You cant get the Height of a wall to show up in a schedule without an add on program written through the API.

use calculated valve for height = Area / Length.
for mullion size, you may use curtain mullion schedule.
currently Revit cannot do "merge" of 2 schedules of different category, isn't it? any workaround?

edit: oops, using curtain mullion schedule won't give you mullion size, maybe API is the only way out!?

Be careful with the calculated value. It will only be accurate for perfectly level walls. ANYTHING youve edited the profile on will incorrect. Im also not sure about inserts, but it seems to me they will take away from area but not take away from length, which means trouble.
