Hi, i want to place a balcony window unit in a project, as i shared below.

http://www.unyecam.com/lib/images/urunler/6379_cambalkon4.jpg

I decided to make them with CW for easiness (image attached). But they automatically joins with wall, sweeps and other elements which i do not want. Is there any option to automatically disallow all CW type by default? Or what do you suggest as a family do make this units?

When you place your curtain wall, look at the right side of your options bar.... see image below.

Thanks WWHub but interesting... I don't have that option (Revit 2015). There is an option in "Type Properties" called "Join Condition" but it only has these options: "Not defined", "Vertical Grid Continues", "Horizontal Grid Continues", "Border and Vertical Grid Continues" and "Border and Horizontal Grid Continues" but none of them worked so far. And one more question for you, Revit still does not support wall (walls, cw's, etc.) length tag, right?

This is why we ask you to always list your Revit issue in your question.   The program does change every year and this feature was added in 2016.

The join you are pointing at is only for mullion conditions.

Does anyone else wish that there was a toggle to make wall joins the default off
