Sandwich panel wall using Curtain Wall vs Divide Parts ? Best practices

[esatis]

Hi, 

I am wondering what method of modeling are you using for working with sandwich panels such as used in warehouses?

What is the intended "Revit way" of making these panels?

In my opinion it would be using Divide Parts function but I have seen people using Curtain Walls extensively and now I am looking at this plugin that uses  Structural framing as sandwich panels and all the sandwich panel flashings. As I understand there is no native way of modeling sandwich panel flashings even using Divide Parts method.

Thanks!

Use a basic wall type for panels.

The end result I want to achieve is taggable, schedulable panels with specific dimensions etc. So basic walls won't do it.

I've done this with a generic model family.  But honestly the amount of work it adds makes it not really worth it IMO.  You have to convert your doors to non-wall mounted hosted doors.  Having Lots of versions of the family or options within the family.  Options with windows, knock outs, reveals... It just goes on and on.

That said, a generic model family is the only way that I know of to do this.
