Borrowed Lights and Door Schedule

[Matasovsky]

I'm a beginner @ Revit and have just gotten a handle on how the door schedule and doors work w/ shared parameters. I'd like to know up front if you're able to have borrowed lights (hollow metal frames w/ glazing - no doors) get scheduled in the door schedule.

I was able to find a way to fool ABS into doing this by graphically making a door look like a borrowed light in plan. If it can't be done directly in Revit, has anyone found a work around?

Thanks in advance!

Create the borrowed lights using the door family template instead of the window. Then they will schedule with doors.

I used the doors w/ ABS to do borrowed lights so that makes sense.

On the schedule I have a width and height category for the door. Typically, we leave this w/ dashes since there isn't a door, just glazing. How does the schedule handle a borrowed light in a door schedule. Does it call out a width and height of the glass (what would normally be a door?) or does it have an override capability to create "--" for those columns?

If you schedule the W and H of doors, Revit cannot display it as "--". You
might be able to achieve this with shared parameters.

Nicholas:

Thank you for your input. I'm struggling to find any existing families on Borrowed Lights, but when I finally find a Borrowed Light in Revit City or elsewhere, I'll begin to experiment w/ shared parameters to see if I can get that final piece of the puzzle to work.

Thanks!
