working in 2009. I downloaded a "window" that was created as an other family. I want to change it to a window so it shows up in my schedules and I can tag it in plans and sections. Any advice? Thank you, AAron

You can't change it into a window. You will have to remodel it or find another one. One option is to create a different schedule for just those 'doors' and call it a window schedule. Place it beneath (or in, by splitting it) your schedule for the proper windows.

You CAN create a Door/Window schedule. It's tedious with the naming of the parameters the schedule shares with the doors and windows both, but then you can also create a Hardware schedule for the doors alone as well. Thread I posted how to do this is located here: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=15209 And by the way, the Door/Window Schedule has to be a multi-category schedule. Hope this helps!
