Did you load "Curtain Wall-Store Front-Dbl" from your library? if you already did, then go back to your storefront glass wall - select the panel where you want to place the door  if you have a hard time selecting it then you might need to use your tab key to cycle through your seletion and you also need to "unpin" your panel by clicking on the pin symbol when you selected the panel) - then from your option bar type selector go to CURTAIN WALL-STORE-FRONT-DBL: STORE FRONT DOUBLE DOOR - voila! The glass panel changed to a glass double door. Take note that the "Curtain Wall-Store Front-Dbl" Door will not be seen under Door Type. Oddly it's under Wall Type.

thebigbrowncat you wrote "you also need to "unpin" your panel by clicking on the pin symbol when you selected the panel" can I ask why you need to unpin the panel? I have used the curtain wall doors many times and have never unpined the panel. Just asking.

Hi puzzle, yoiyoi is asking how to install a storefont door so I assumed he is using CURTAIN WALL:STOREFRONT wall type. And if you want to edit a storefront wall you will notice that there are pinned after you selected them (panel, mullions, grids). That's why I said to unpin it. Makes sense? :-)

In future if you create a custom door for a curtain wall, make sure you begin by using the curtain wall door family in order to get it to schedule with the rest of your doors =)

On this topic. if I have mullions around my door my door likes to sit inside the mullions. Is there a way to offset the edge of the door so it sits on the edge of the mullions. Or Rather to offset the edge of the panel from its boundary.

Curtain panels will always adjust to sit between mullions, unless you edit the family and place some parameters to control offset from the ends. I'm not entirely sure what exactly you are trying to achieve, but your best option is to edit the parameters of the mullion you are using and offset it so that it sits to one side or the other of the curtain grid. Alternatively you could create a new profile that works the way you want it to, and set the family category to mullion before loading it in. From memory there is also a parameter under the layout settings for the vertical grids that forces it to take into account mullion width. Hope one of those suggestions helps - if not you might need to explain a little more about what exactly you are trying to achieve. Cheers =)
