Curtain Wall Mullion Schedule to show "full" lengths

[Anonymous]

Hey All,

Im trying to make it so my Mullion Schedule shows the full lengths instead of the distance between mullion breaks, I have the "Floor Track" set to continuous but when you look at the schedule it shows every break where a Horizontal mullion is inserted.

I thought I had found a solution to this but it has caused more problems sadly. I had duplicated the system and set system 1 to have its "Curtain Panel" set to System 2. In doing so I let system 2 pick up all the vertical mullion cuts and system 1 shows the full lengths of Floor Track.  The CATCH is that i can't delete the vertical tracks in system 2 as well as doors don't sit properly anymore. 

Has anyone else come across any other solutions to this issue? Need this data for doing Bill of Materials

If you need it for a bill of sale then (hopefully) you need the total linear length of  that particular mullion type. You can create a mullion type for the verticals, assign that and then create a schedule that totals it up for you by mullion type. See my attached Revit (2017) project where did this as an example. Hope that is helpful

You can sort of do it by multilevel nesting of curtain walls.  Example below I have 3 levels of nesting.

Another solution is using a common Mark for several mullions and group them in the schedule (not itemized identical mark) to get the subtotal for each Mark.

@ToanDN I feel silly with how close I was with my original idea... Levels with in levels, I knew watching Inception would help with work someday!

Hi

Is it possible to explain how to nest multi levels of curtain walls?

I am confused or at least haven't tried it yet... how can the child be a curtain panel but also a curtain wall.

Thank you

Disregard my question, I didn't realize that I can actually select the curtain panel and change it to a curtain wall and it will work! amazing how Revit would let you do things that you think you can't.

I am going to shift from modeling curtain panels as curtain panel family to curtain wall nested, it will save me a lot of headache.

A brilliant solution for scheduling full lengths. But how do you deal with wall joins?

Nested panel which appear to be a curtain wall won't stop joining the walls and leaves you without control over the join status of the edge.

I am having the same problem but I did not understand your solution. Can you explain more, please?
