scheduling shopfronts

[tzu1904]

Say if I have a 3mx3m shopfront that is consist of fixed and openable windows and doors, can I actually tag and schedule it as one thing? Or do I have to do 3 separate schedules for the door, openable window, and fixed glazing panels? when I try to schedule the curtain wall panel, it only lets me select one panel at a time and not for the entire opening width. Any suggestions?
Tzu :?

Build it as a window family?

When I do storefront (or shopfront in your case).
1. I create different curtain wall types for each one and give them each a different Type mark. Simply duplicating the curtain walls works for me.
2. From there I can tag them as walls. I also made a different wall tag to match the symbology i needed for the storefront.
3. I also place them all on a seperate worset so i can show them in Storefront Type elevations cleanly.
