Inserting a Window into a Curtain Panel Family

I am trying to insert a window into a curtain wall via the curtain wall panel. The window, not being a curtain panel window, I have tried inserting it into the family but I cannot as it is wall hosted. Is there anyway I can get around this?

I've tried to nest it via load into project, but it cannot as Revit asks for a wall to place window in. I may be missing something here but does the window properties need to be altered so that it's not wall hosted?

Make a thin wall type. Then, use it as the curtain panel.

Then, you can insert the window into it as it is a wall.

I started my window (for the same reasons you want windows in your panels I guess) as a generic model (the template which requires no host) and changed the category to window. This lets you nest the window in your panel family.

Hey Guys!

 

Pretty sure I just figured this one out.

 

If you open up a curtainwall door family and change the family category to "window", you can then model the panel to look like whatever window type you want, file-save as, and load it into the project. Once it's there, you can click the panel type and change it to your new window. Since it's a window type, it will also appear correctly on your Revit-generated schedules.

I do this too but do you know how to control the "offset" I don't see a parameter for it since it isn't a curtain panel family
