Storefront is the best way to go.  You can assign any materials you want to the mullions / frame.

wen i used storefront wall.. due to oval space.. the shape of the window changes..!!

plus since dis is the type window used everywhere...i'll have to edit the wall profile of many walls twice.. first for the basic walls in which i create openings and then for the storefront wall and do dat for 10 15 walls.. which becomes very difficult and any changes in the plans becomes diffcult.

the frame can also not be added..

with a window it'll be easy as it can b easily moved..!!

plzz help me..!!

With curtainwalls, you have the type setting to automatically embed the CW in a wall so no edit profiule rquired.  Just edit the shape of the curtainwall to your oval, and place horizontal and vertical grids where you want them.  I would not use any automatic curtainwall settings for this.,  Do it completely manual.

Here is a "manual" curtain wall set to self embed in the wall.  I copied it to a second location that is partially in the wall.  You can look at the properties.
