Storefront Door that fits into opening correctly

[jmhanbyV4TDM]

I have this curtainwall double door that I use for curtainwall entrances.  It never fits correctly and to make it read correctly in the door schedule I have to make the opening smaller than it should be.  Can someone please show me how to correct the family so it fits in the opening correctly and also reports in the schedule correctly?

Storefront Curtain Wall Doors match the Dimensions of the Panel it is replacing.  

...so basically, resize the Panel by moving the bordering Grids/Mullions - and then replace the Panel with the Door.  

Maybe this video will help. There are many others as well - just a Google search away.

The 2d symbol of the door panels aren't constrained properly with the width of the doors as shown in the screenshot below.  I don't have Revit 2021 so I fixed the family in Revit 2022.

Here is the revised family in Revit 2022.

Here is a screen capture of how to fix it.

- Create a Width Instance (report) parameter

- Create a Panel Width instance parameter and use formula = Width/2

- Constrain the panels and swings using the Panel Width parameter

Your family isn't parametric that way. Open the Storefront Door that comes OOTB with Revit and see how it's done.  Then build your door the same way.

I offset the 2d door symbols so they would show correctly in the opening in plan.  For some reason the doors always overlapped the frame by 1/2" (as the Revit door does Barth) so that is why I always made the opening actually smaller so the schedule would show right.  ToanDN the width is fixed but the height is still 1/2" into the top frame.  Do I fix it the same way? Thank you.

I was referring to the fact that your door "symbol" is not parametric (e.g. it flunks the flexing test epically).  

Yours does this:  

which is NOT "as the Revit Door does": 

Maybe you are talking about something else.  Dunno.  You posted an rfa and that's the first thing I noticed that needs to be corrected.

I was talking about the 1/2" overlap. My door file flexes fine for me.

Is that your door that you attached to your original post? That's the one I tested. It's crap.  Maybe you posted the wrong one.

It may have something to do with your mullion profile.  The door fits perfectly without any overlapping here.
