So, I'm onto the tutorial listed above, I'm only 4 days into the software, so bear with me.

I get to item #32 on p. 47 it says to "select the newly created curtain wall panel and unpin it"  no idea how to select the panel itself (in order to insert a door) as the illustration shows.  I'm only able to select the mullion(s).

Am I missing something? VG maybe. but there's no mention of that on the tutorial.

Is anyone familiar with this tutorial and can give me some tips.  The BIM is a 6 level retail tower, if that helps.

Thanks!

Hover your cursor near the edge of a panel and press the TAB key to select the curtain panel.

Alternately, go to an elevation view and do an 'inculsive' selection window [lower left to upper right] and get the curtain panel and other objects if they are close and use the 'filter' button to just use the curtain panel.

The "window" selection tool worked, i then filtered out the mullions like you said.

Thanks for a quick response!
