Curtain Windows or Windows Editor please

Curtain Windows or Windows Editor please

Allow users to create any window configuration necessary with ease as we never have enough configurations and they are very tedious to make.
So it would work the same way as a curtain wall with editable panels, but its a window, which is placed like a window, and scheduled like a window and saved like a window

I believe this is possible already if I'm following your idea correctly

When creating a panel family, change the category to window.

As you can see in my screen shots I've created basic window panel and scheduled it

Thanks for your interest,  Yes I am aware of categorising  the curtain wall panels as windows but then it's still a curtain wall no matter how you mix it.

What I am suggesting is a "window family" that acts like a window family that you can place like a window, not placing a embedded curtain wall packed with window panes into a wall because that is definitely not practical in residential projects.

We have this wonderful and powerful family called curtain walls but we don't leverage the  power behind it for any other families.
Example:  I use curtain wall families for all of my cabinetry as its the easiest way to create custom cabinetry and this includes anything from doors, drawers, shelves to wall ovens and dishwashers etc etc.
I would also put this idea forward as a dedicated way of doing cabinetry, but let's see  if anyone votes for the window editor before going for a more advanced idea  😉

Wish me luck!
