Custom Panel for Curtain Wall

I've been trying to find in the manual what the process is to create your own custom panel for Curtain Walling. So far I haven't found any info. My assumption is it must be similar to creating a custom door panel.

So I've cobbled together a slab and some roofs to make a louvre panel saved them did "Save Selection As.." and selected "Curtain Walling Panel..."

Saved into the Embedded Library as there wasn't an option to save it to a Project symbols folder. Went to the curtain wall and edited it to change the panel. At this point I couldn't see a way to access the Embbed Library so went back saved the object from the Embedded Library to a Project Library folder. Went back to edit the CW and now I can see the custom panel but I can't select it, dooh!

Any ideas?

Dooh just twigged what I was missing!

Instead of trying to select a custom panel at the bottom of the list I should have instead selected the "CW Custom Panel" and then select whichever panel from those listed from your loaded library

Happy days
