Overidding Tags

[rjcrowther]

Is it possible to override a tag and therefor reflect in the relevant schedule.

Scenario:
I am a lazy so and so and find it easier to use curtain walls for windows when they are corner windows. I also find it easier to use curtain walls for windows when there are a truck load of transoms and mullions through the window.

I would like to tag and therefor schedule the window (curtain wall) and have it take on a window tag and appear in the window schedule as a window.

Any ideas, other than make a corner window family?

Ah, why not create a curtain panel or a wall tag, that look like your window tag? You can load multiple tags into a project. As to scheduling, you could probably use a multi-category schedule to schedule both your windows & curtain wall. Or break up your schedules (window & curtain wall) filter as needed and line them all up together on a sheet so it looks like one schedule.
