Curtain wall door marker

Don't see a setting for door marker for a door placed in a custom panel in the curtain wall. Don't tell me it can't be done. Tell me I missed a setting someplace.

Hello.
I have a similar question. I would like to transform the bottom left corner of the curtain wall into a double door, but I cannot, as seen in the picture. Is there any way to delete or change individual mullions/etc. and to unite some panels?
Thank you.

Once you have entered edit mode for the Curtain Wall, select the unwanted mullion(s) and delete them, the 2 bordering panels will be come one, which can be selected and changed to a door panel type.

Thank you for the reply.
I entered the 3d mode,but I could delete only transoms and no mullions, for which I have only similar and not double/mirrored doors.

I'm trying to label curtain walls with ID and fire rating (curtain wall system, not individual panels and doors).

I can label the system but I can't set parameters for the system as a whole.
I can set parameters on the panels and doors except generic panels, but I can't label them.
Why can't I give the system parameters when I can label it with labels containing settings for these parameters?
Why can I give individual panels parameters when I can't label them?

Checking "label curtain wall" the label settings is greyed out?
What am I missing?

The Curtain Wall parts can be labeled in Section/Elevation windows, in the Help files see: Virtual Building > Construction Elements > Curtain Wall: A System Tool > Attach Labels to Curtain Wall Members.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

I want to label the curtain walls on the plan.
I still do not see or understand why I can't set more parameters on the system.
@David. Hope my signature shows now.

Yes, thanks for adding.

According to the Help files: Documentation > Annotation > Labels > Placing Member Labels on Curtain Walls:
"A special kind of Associative Label is the Member Label. It is available only in a Section/Elevation/IE window, and only for Curtain Wall members." So I don't think it is possible to label Curtain Wall members in other views (like plan), except the entire system.

I cannot follow what you are trying to accomplish, additional description with screen shots could help.

Yes, it is possible to label the entire system in the plan view. And this is what I want. But I can not label the system (and list it) like I want.

I'm sure I just have to wait for AC18 and everything will be great and like I want it to be. Even labels.
