2013: What happened to storefront?

[bwilliams133]

I'm working on a house in 2013 and the owner wants storefront on a rear addition. Under my Walls: Architecture, I only have Basic Walls and Curtain Walls with no option for "Storefront" (as I had in Revit 2012). I thought that the Curtain Wall would work the same, but it doesn't seem to. What happened to storefront?

Perhaps I posted a minute too soon. I'm working on a model initially created outside our company and I believe he started with a template which did not have storefront in it, or he deleted it out. I started a new Revit 2013 project, used the out of the box commercial template and found that it had the storefront wall in it. I just copied/pasted into my house model and am moving on. I thought I should reply to my own question for anyone else who might encounter this during their own upgrade.

'Storefront' was simply a predefined curtainwall type. All you need to do is to create a type of curtainwall and name it Storefront and then define the size and spacing you want for your mullions. Or, if you already had one that was all set up, simply pick a 'Storefront' wall in that project and copy/paste it to the new project.
