CW Door: Discrepancy in Scheduled Width (because of sub-frame)

We integrate typical doors (hosted in walls) and CW Doors (panels) in a single Door Schedule no problem, using Classifications as the criteria and the "Width" and "Height" general parameters as fields. An issue arises when the CW Door has a sub-frame and/or adapter with any width greater than 0". The Schedule sees the sub-frame and adapter as part of the panel, not part of the CW frame, therefore the width scheduled for the "door" is actually inflated. See below.

 

This screenshot shows a common CW door condition: 3-0x7-0 door, with 1" wide adapters, inside a CW frame. The door is 3'-0" wide, but is scheduled as 3'-2" (which is the door + adapters):

This seems to be mostly a Schedule issue, in that I need a different field other than the "Width" general parameter. I see that there is a "Nominal Width" parameter for Curtain Wall Panels, but in this example, it also returned 3'-2", so I'm not sure what that is intended to be used for? If a manually-input property is the only way to get both the model and schedule to work correctly together, I guess that is the work-around, but that sounds error prone. Any thoughts are appreciated!

 

There is also a separate issue that I can't have a sub-frame at the head be a different width than the sub-frame at the jambs... In the schedule above, the height of the door is listed as 7'-0", which is correct, but when inspected closer in the model, the door is actually 6'-11" tall to accommodate the adapter.

Have you looked at library part parameters in the schedule scheme for leaf WxH? I know with cadimage, this is the easiest way to eliminate frame/inner frame from the schedule
