here is a previous post by Tom Dorner on the Subject in question The traditional way is to select the curtain panel and change it to a curtain panel door. This requires that you load into your project a door that is "curtain wall" based and then select the curtain panel you want to be a door and then change that panel into the curtain door you loaded. This method has some limitations and below is what I currently do. -------------------------------------------------------- One trick I have been using is to place regular door families into curtain walls. To do this, select the curtain panel and change it to a regular wall type. I usually make a dummy wall type the same thickness as my curtain panel thickness. Now that the curtain panel you have selected is a wall, you can simply insert a regular door family into it and it will schedule properly and can get placed onto a legend. The trick is to make sure that you use a door family with no trim and have the clear space between the mullions exactly the width and height of your door. When the door "cuts" your dummy wall, the dummy wall will completely disapear leaving just the door. ---------------------------------------------------------- HTH Tom here is the link http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=1903 here is another link on the subject http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=2136

You have to use curtain wall doors - not the regular doors. To load these doors look in the door library. You also have to place these doors differently. To place them, pull up an elevation of your wall. Add mullions on grid lines if you don't already have them. Get rid of the base mullion in the panel where you want the door then change the panel type to your door.

I agree with the last post. You have to use curtain panel doors. It takes a small amount of time to learn how curtain walls exactly work, but is worth your while!
