I'm try to setup tag for curtain wall/stroe front screen for a retail project. Also trying to extract the curtain wall/screen quantity in a schedule. I'm not able to locate a tag for curtain wall similear to window tag. If there is no tag dedicated for curtain wall than how can I extract the width and length of the curtain wall segments in a schedule? Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Here is a tag I created for our walls.  There are 3 types: wall only, wall with ceiling condition (shared parameter created for walls), and storefront.  You would have to assign the tag ofr walls and most liely the default is wall only type.  Then when you tag the storefront, change it to the strorefront type.

The only drawback is that a hexagon (window shape used for storefront) is larger than a square (wall shape).  Even though the hexagon is turned off in the visibility for the wall tag, the leader line only goes as far as the hexagon and there is a gap between the leader and the square tag.  You most likely have to try it out to see what I mean.

Does anyone know of a way to create 2 distinct tags for "curtain walls" that are storefronts?  It's been a bothersome issue here in the office that curtain walls and storefronts are lumped together with walls.
