this is in Revit 2013. Is there a way to give more than 1 fixed spacing for curtain wall grids? For example, if you have spacing pattern 1:2:1:2:1:2, is there a way to modify the system curtain wall to allow that extra input? I know you can manually add the second spacing in, but want to make sure I'm not overlooking a more efficient way of doing it. Thanks.

Sorry, but not that I have ever seen and we have done several rythmetically spaced CW's that were not equal spaced.

Thanks for the quick reply WWHub. Is there than a way of changing the grids with permanent dimensions instead of temporary dimensions? I cannot seem to edit the permanent dimension that was converted from the temporary dimensions. Where I'm going with this and it might be a stretch, is if we can designate all of the permanent dimensions for grids that have the same spacing "equal" (Of course I'm not sure how to go about doing that), then it could work as that second input for grid spacing.

If the curtain wall spacing is not fixed by type then you can adjust by dimension.  We always create the CW - sometimes by a predefined type but then we always switch it to no-presets so that we can modify everything.
