Curtainwall Doors

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:22:17 GMT

I'm having issues using the curtainwall tool and inserting a fixed sized door. When placing a door of a fixed size, is the only way to make sure that the door is a standard size to adjust the mullions prior to placing the door? Also there seems to be no way to have a door ID in a door placed within a curtainwall. I would have hoped by now there would be improvements made to the curtainwall tool.

just hope is what remains.
this tool is almost useless since there is no more doors and window types, or easy way or even a tutorial how to create custom doors or windows for curtain wall.

This is half finished tool.

That is what I was afraid of... Great thought but poor implementation!

A work-around we do is we subtract the door area from the curtain wall scheme, model a wall within the CW to fit the opening and place an AC door in that wall. The door can then be configured to look like a storefront door and be part of door labeling and schedules along with other AC doors. The downside is if the door size or location has to change, it's a bit of double work needing to reconfigure the CW and wall/door.
