Storefronts

Other than AC18 curtain wall tool, which I find cumbersome to use, I am looking for suggestions, add-on, or way to create storefront with insert panels such as glass panels, solid panels, louver, windows and doors.

Any suggestions?

If you don't want to use the Curtain Wall tool, then try profiled walls:

Create a complex profile where you can include the glass and the top and bottom Transoms.
That wall now can take any doors / windows.
To add mullions and additional transoms you will have to use profiled Beams and Columns.
The down side is that in a complex project is a lot of elements to administrate... one by one.

I'd rather go with Curtain Walls, but the choice is yours.
