Multiple windows to show as a single unit in schedule

[mason]

I have windows grouped together (outlined in BLUE) that I want to show as a single window in the schedule. The groups have three windows (outlined in RED). I added a parameter "Show in Schedule" to filter out the windows I don't want showing in the schedule, but I don't know what the best way to add groups of windows to the window schedule.

An alternative to adding the groups to the window schedule is to modify the middle window data to appear as all three windows, but that seems messy.

What's the best way to handle this?

Why don't you build the combo assembly as a Family?  Share and Nest all the Windows Families that make up the mulled assembly into another Host Window Family.

I hadn't thought of that! Pretty new to Revit. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Thanks @barthbradley, that did the trick! I did have to delete the opening in the new family I created. I was getting an error that the nested windows I was adding weren't cutting anything. It looks good in plan views, elevations, and works in the schedule correctly.
