I am fairly new at Revit Architecture and still trying to learn the finer details of 2011.  Mulling windows is my current confusion.  I have been trying to create a family which would have the two windows horizontally mulled with interior and exterior trim.  I have created a new family and brought my base window family into it.  I was able to place the windows within this family locking them to the center so as the sizes change the stay fixed (mulled) at the center point.  The two issues I am seeing at this point are regarding the schedule and changing window sizes.  Right now I am finding I have to change each window size independantly.  Changing one does not change the other (I have multiple family types set up within the original file for each typical size).  I have to select each window and change the type, or edit the type.  Is there a way to bring the window types through to the current family so a parameter there will control which window type is displayed?  I also have not figured out how to bring the properties of the original family file into the current one so when I get to creating a schedule the window names, sizes, finishes, etc. will be retrievable by Revit.  I suspect it is something simple I have missed in set up that will possibly solve both of these issues at one.  Hopefully, this is not too confusing as I am realizing I am in over my head.

Thanks,Tim
