Storefront Windows

I have a need to use aluminum storefront windows with various intermediate mullion and transom configurations. Some are around 6’ square, some over 12’ tall with arched heads. I don’t see anything in the standard libraries like this for windows, so the question is: Is it better to create these as storefront / curtain wall assemblies, or create new window families?

 

I was going to insert an example image, but it looks like the ability to do has disappeared??

Typically this kind of condition is probably best done as an embedded curtain wall. The mullions will probably be easier to control this way. The "embedded" instance property of a curtain wall allows it to cut a hole for itself in the wall it overlaps/is placed in.

How would you suggest going about allowing for space for a rough opening around the embedded storefront so the ROs can be dimensioned?

While built-in Curtain Wall system families are convenient sometimes and requires less effort, at a certain point it is best to go with custom families. Namely when one has specific requirements, user defined parameters and realistic detailing. Personally I would go for the latter as I'm not so fond of curtain wall tool not even for curtain wall use (well at least not past concept stage)

Instead of embedding the curtain wall, use the wall opening tool or modify the profile of the wall itself to create the opening, then model the curtain wall in the hole.
