Multiple doors family

[Darwin33]

I need to place a multiple door family in a shaft wall. This means that I have several doors leafs in a row separeted by one frame each other. Some of the doors are double, some simple, but with a frame in between, (this means no wall between doors, but frames).

I would appreciate some help

Use a curtain wall and curtain wall doors.

Got a picture? Hard to visualize what you are describing. 

...or maybe post the file?  

[Darwin33]

This is the situation, the element between doors is a frame not part of a wall.

[barthbradley]

Can you share the file?

Example of using a curtain wall and curtain wall doors.

[barthbradley]

Are we talking about something like this? 

[Darwin33]

yes, that is the situation, between door there is wood frames, not walls

[mhiserZFHXS]

You can either use a curtain wall as noted above, or create a new family that does exactly what you want.

A curtain wall with wood mullions, auto embed to cut the block walls, placing curtain grids as required for door elevation layout, and change panels to curtain wall doors.

Thank you for all answers.

I am more fan of making a family for doors, as far as the constructive element is a door not a curtainwall.

NEvertheless I have the following questions.

As doors family,

I know how to make a family for a sigle or double leafs doors. But when I have more doors, how can i add the arrow element that marks another opening leaf?

As curtain wall.

in my company they are using a schedule to count doors, if I am placing a curtain wall, is it possible to count everydoor enbedded in the curtain wall and exported to the schedule?

Also I can create different mullions, this mullions are the frames for two adjacents doors, it is possible to create leafs that use the mullions like frames. ( I do not want to have mullions, frames and leafs).

Thank you very much.

Nope.  Curtain wall is for layout, all curtain wall doors are still doors.  They are door families that can be tagged and schedules exactly the same as regular doors.

NEvertheless I have the following questions.

I know how to make a family for a sigle or double leafs doors. But when I have more doors, how can i add the arrow element that marks another opening leaf?

It is fairly easy.  You can add it to the door family and use a visibility parameter to control when you want to show it in project.

As curtain wall.

Yes.

Certainly.  Show your exact elevation configuration if you want an example.

Thank you very much.

So, those combos are mulled together assemblies?  In other words, several pre-hungs abutting each other?  If so, why can't you just place in the wall that way.  Or build a "combo" family with nested pre-hungs and place that family in the project wall?  

[Darwin33]

How can I created the nested hungs? and then nested, which type of family should I use for the nested hungs and which other type for the main family?

[Darwin33]

how can I add those arrows, that allows me to have more openings in a family.
