Window Grid Custom Parameter Tutorials

[johnw]

Does anyone know where I might find online tutorials on setting up custom window mullions (grids) for traditional, craftsman, prairie, no grids, etc? I was using the Anderson Windows families and they are just way too large. So I created my own window frame and all looks great except I would like to be able to customize the window grids so you can "pick" what window style you want off the properties palette. I've had no luck finding this specific topic on youtube or lynda.com.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you,

John W.

Dear John,

Thank you for your query.

I assume that you are after tutorials from the end user point of view, through the user interface.

Doing anything programmatically with the Revit API almost always requires proper understanding of optimal workflow and best practices in the user interface anyway.

If you want to do it programmatically, please read the getting started material first of all, and work through the DevTV and My first Revit plugin tutorials:

Otherwise, please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.

Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to product usage or end user support issues here.

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

The people there are much better equipped to answer your question than us programming nerds.

I hope this clarifies.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy. I was only asking in this forum since it dealt with "customizing/programming". Thanks for your links!
