Hi,
I ve got an louver panel family based on nested array of louvers and I want to calculate quantity of louvers in spec. I know to do that I have to apply shared option for every nested family, but when I did that, family just crashed down.
This how it should looks like:
This how it looks after shared option applied for CurtainPanel_rev01 and Louver famalies:
I am kindly asking you to give me advise how to fix this because I am stacked.
All you need is to Edit the panel family and change Louver Count to a Shared Parameter this way you can add/quantify the number of louvers in the curtain panels schedule
Personally I prefer the panel family option but there is also the alternative of modeling the louvers as a nested Curtain Wall type which consists of
- Horizontal Mullions
- Empty system panels
This way you can quantify louvers under mullions...both ways work.
Its pretty simple
- Duplicate the Rectangular Mullion in the project browser and edit type to create the louvers
- Place any type of Curtain Wall
- Edit the CW in step 2 an duplicate a CW type type...
- take out all Vertical Mullions
- Leave the Horizontal interior mullions
- Set the horizontal mullions to the type you created in step 1
- Set the Panel to Empty system Panel
- On a curtain wall where you want to place a louver
- Unpin a Panel
- From the drop down type selector >> Change it to the Type you created in step 3
