Thank you so much, Sir, this is very useful for scheduling! I was so impressed with the idea that I went overboard: a. Instead of the cross you suggested, I created a thin hexagon (lines=1), just like the window tags, b. I made a new window tag w/o the hexagon (as it was redundant)... It was perfect!~P.S. It is really hard to do it with a Portuguese Family indeed!😂😂😂
Great now we have it in the window schedule but the problem is how to put it the legend... we used to make assemblies and then drag the view to the Legend sheet but the whole process is becoming manuel not automated so in large projects the chance of errors is very common
Nice one! I have a house with a bunch of triangle shaped windows which are much easier to design as curtain walls. I will try your method for the schedule.
@@miketaylor8211 Since Revit doesn’t allow CW mullions other than "true" vertical or horizontal, is that why I see all these people doing YT video tutorials on how to create "wall panel systems" (or whatever else names they come up with) then change the parameters of the panels themselves to clear or translucent? I’ve used ACad for over 10 years and have been a commercial glazier for nearly 30. I’ve recently been playing around / trying to learn Revit, and I couldn’t ever figure out WHY, they were referring to them in that way. I just figured they didn’t know better, though a lot of them say that they’re architects. A lot of people on jobsites would use the terms storefront and curtainwall interchangeably, just not knowing any better. Just like I don’t know crap about plumbing and sheetrock, it’s not in my "wheelhouse" so to speak,,, lol.
@@shakeydavesr lol.. most people (newbie Architects included) use storefront and curtainwall interchangeably. You and I know that storefront is used typically for single story applications of glass and mullions.. with sometimes a door. Curtainwalls are typically multi-story exterior facade elements that anchor back to the floor slabs or the structure for support. Revit only has one tool that is expected to be used for both.
thank you, i can only get this to work when placing the marker in plan view. but i need it to be showing in elevation. any ideas how? i've tinkered with visiblity settings of the lines and it still doesn't work.
Great tip Sir!! Question for the skylight window on the roof deck. I have a "Room Location" on my schedule, but that skylight doesn't recognise the room, filling it blank. Any tip please?
The 'ROOM' object may only be 8'-0" tall.. so it's not touching the skylight. If you tell the extents (height) of the room to be taller, such that it touches the skylight... it may be able to see the room and report the room name into the 'Room Location' cell of your schedule.
How did you get all the window tags to all offset correctly from the walls on horizontal and vertical plan views as well as inside outside the walls? Are you able to share the family?
Hmmmm. I will look into this to see why sill and head height are not in that family. It may be as simple as adding a parameter or two to it. I’ll check.
I HAVE CREATED AROUND 100S OF CURTAIN WALLS AS WINDOWS , HAVE CHANGED THE TYPE MARK OF EACH ONE AS PER NUMBER/CODE , TAGGED THEM AS A WALL LOOKING LIKE A WINDOW TAG , NOW I WANT TO MAKE A SCHEDULE OUT OF IT AS PER THE NAME AND DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS EACH WINDOW , COMBINED DOOR + WINDOW HAS. NOW IN THE SCHEDULES ALL THE DOORS I HAVE USED IN MY CURTAIN PANELS ARE SHOWING UP IN DOORS SCHEDULE , AND THE CURTAIN PANELS WHICH I HAVE TAGGED AS WINDOWS ARE IN CURTAIN PANELS SCHEDULE :-/ . I WANTED TO SHOW THEM ALL AS WINDOW OR DOOR+WINDOW COMBINED IN THE SCHEDULES AND TAG THEM AS PER THEIR NOMENCULATURE & DIMENSIONS. IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY????
I know you don’t want to hear this.. but it’s still a good idea to have a separate door schedule. Combining the two categories into a single schedule is very difficult (Multi-category schedule).
I would try to add that as a Parameter to the same 'workaround' family... so you could just type in any Sill Height you wanted into the new parameter field and have it report to the schedule.
