Yes, but it has to be a special curtain panel. Upon insertion it will assume the shape of the opening. Make sure your opening is the door size you want.

You might start by going through the tutorial segment on "Curtain Systems" under "Using Advanced Features".

but i cannot add curtain doors to the curtain wall, i must first change the panel to a wall and convert that to a door

no you need to "unpin" the panel and go to the selector and pick the appropreate door. no need to nest a wall in a panel to host a door

you should be able to tab around the panel and eventually get the panel itself. once you select it you see a little pin mark in the middle. Click it and then the type selector will become active (ungrey).
