I have a door family that has uneven leafs (a 5'-0" opening with a 3'-0" & 2'-0" leaf) but I cannot get it to schedule exactly as I want. So far I have it set up sp that the overall 5'-0" opening is what schedules in my door width column in the schedule. I also have a comments field where I note that the door has 3'-0" and 2'-0" leafs. This just doesn't seem very revit like. I guess I could fill in the comment field in the door family so it fill out automactically when I insert the family.

If you use nested family for the leaf you could schedule the door automatically

Not sure where you are going with this, could you explain a little more?

When you nest your leafs they both would have they're own width as a parameter then you would get the family with as another parameter. You could then schedule those the way you want.

When I create double door families, I use the overall width (both leaves) as the "Width" parameter. Then I write the width of the leaves in the Comments (using Type Comments).
