within quota continuous facade

[DeDios]

Good morning to all, I would like to expose you a doubt: I made a door inserted instead of a glass panel of a continuous facade (it is a parametric family). the door is displayed correctly but at the time of the quotation the system takes the measurements of the entire panel rather than the actual size of the door panel.
How to do that? Do I need to insert some references inside the door family?
thanks in advance and good day:smile:

in the properties of the reference plans there is a call is a reference. expand the drop-down menu and assign the strong or left-right reference value etc.

once the family is charged in the project environment, they will be recognized for the quotation operation.

Hi.

hello lance, first of all thanks for the answer

I tried to set the reference plans as you say, but.. does not work anyway. I train the family, I probably miss something View attachment Porta.rar

to me it works properly. ..as you can see from the image I attach...but that's not how you have to proceed.


the door must have the size of the panel not to be inserted in its center, a family so sooner or later (more than later) will give you big problems. then family of facade panel continues in which nest the door by associating the parameters. then divide the facade continues so that the door takes on the correct size.

Hi.

ah ok..then the family of the door must understand exclusively the panel of the door and its pillars; later to adjust the right size of the door I will add upright and transverse into the facade system.. I'll try and let you know.

All right, thank you very much again:

... or, if you have already defined the size of the fc panels, the door to be imported must have the same size of the fc panel that will replace ...

hi frank, thanks to the answer I actually have 3x3m facade panels, but as recommended lance I have inserted new divisions at the door, inserting the panel "door".
Thanks again, good work to all!
