Good afternoon all,
Is it possible (and how do I if so) for one curtain wall mullion, like the bottom one shown here, to have multiple details that can be cycled through?
In the detail family I show here, I want to be able to cycle through the 2 shown. So that when I make the mullion 4" instead of 10, I can just click a toggle and make it the 4" detail.

If your profile is parametric then simply duplicate its type and change the dimensions, then duplicate a mullion type and assign the new profile type. Then you can select mullions from the curtain wall and swap types.
Are you saying you want the detail to flex in width? That would require some doing for a detail such as this. I believe your better off creating a different detail of the width you need -- or, just using this detail as a representative (SIM).
The profile is dynamic, yes.
I guess the best way to describe it, is using AutoCAD.
Dynamic blocks in autocad have the toggle where I can change the block from one detail to another, like a Chair to a stove, or a fridge, etc.
Can I do the same with revit?
You can do that with most things in Revit. However, curtain mullions are a bit different because they use Profile families to define the shape. A Profile family cannot have more than one loop so the only way to flex it is using dimensions and create different types within one family by different dimensions.
You can also create different profile families if you need more flexibility, then with a similar steps, duplicate a mullion type and pick a different Profile for it.
