If you are designing the building you will need to design the elevator shaft, mechanical room, etc., and that is something different to think about than doing TI work where you just need to show existing elevators.
If the latter, I recommend using Elements instead of Constructs to avoid Level/Division Assignments. You can create the Elevator Cab, for example, and Xref that into your Constructs, Views and/or Sheets so it will appear the same on every floor. I prefer to use an Attachment Type Xref into my Floor Constructs. The Shaft can be a part of this Element, a different Element or a Construct (see next comment).
If designing an elevator, I prefer to create the whole shaft in one Construct and Xref that into Floors as a Spanning Construct (Xref). I still have my Elevator Cab as an Element. This insures that you see your shaft clearly and can check for clearances, rated materials, tracks, hoists, etc. I include the pit and use this whole Construct for Sections and Details (reviewed by consultants, of course). However, if you include Doors in this (which I do), you may have to fiddle a bit with the Display of Doors above and Below per Floor (if identical per floor, no worries).
The use of a Curtain Wall Style is something we have explored and offer an example round residential one with glazed surround. This would be used as a Spanning Construct.
AutoCAD Architecture does not have Elevator Door Styles so you may need to get creative with its Pocket or Double Pocket Types. We added a bunch of custom Elevator Doors based on Customized Pocket Door Types in our latest Doors 2021 eKit.
Good luck!
