Window mull covers

Window mull covers

So I'm looking for some advice on how to best model this. In the screenshot below, I have marked areas in a wall that I need to cover with window mull covers - extruded alum matching the window colors. These are going to be added in between the windows and at the corners. How do I best add this so it will display correctly in sections and in 3D? My first thought was to create a custom wall type that includes the mull cover and just insert that wall type in the section between the windows? In that case - I also have some wall sections where wall is shown above the windows, so I would have to insert all separately over the window? I would also like to be able to schedule these mull covers since it is something we're dealing with frequently. Any advice is appreciated.

I guess you modelled glass sheets as separate walls. You could use a curtain wall system family with glass panels and metal mullions to achieve that.

Curtain wall can be embedded in another wall like doors or windows so you can model a wall and insert a curtain wall (window) in it.

Actually all windows are Revit families from Marvin Windows and I need to cover those.

You can create a line-based generic model family with extrusion using a profile of your mullions.

Perhaps a new family, face based, with instance dimension controls and material could be a better solution. Because it also will available in schedules for material take off.
