Hello everyone!
Is there any way to have a wall inside a door/window family?
My endpoint would be to create something like this in the door family, it is very important that I have the centerlines (analytical models) of those small pieces of walls.
Wall inside Door Family
No. Walls are system families and only existing inside the project. Therefore you can not have them to be part of a loadable (door) family

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Accepted solution
To do what you are thinking of would then require that you add custom analytical lines separately as model in-place. SEE GIF BELOW ...
you can automate the above easily using Dynamo; however, I still do believe that walls should be kept with walls and doors placed separately in an architectural dummy wall...less hassle, a more straight forward workflow which gets you all the analytical surfaces/lines automatically
Accepted solution
You can nest a shared architectural column into the door family to create the rounded jambs. They will join with the wall nicely when the door is inserted in a wall in the project. Similarly, analytical lines can be added to the door family or to the jamb architectural column family as a shared structural family, without any geometry, just lines.
2022 file is attached. It is a quickie without the shared analytical column, but you get the idea.
Edit: it's true that analytical lines cannot be added in a custom family per @RDAOU , you can add subcategory model lines in the shared column family in order to recreate/trace them as true in-place analytical lines in project. When done you can turn off the place-holder subcategory model lines.
