ACADuser Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 When you mull a door & transom window the window disappears from the window schedule & the door is revised in the door schedule to a mulled unit. The door hardware & other door details are blank. So how do you include that data in the table and what about the window specifications?

Cheryl_C_Crane Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Alan, After you have blocked the window & door together, open the DBX for the Mulled Unit, and Specify the Label. It will then appear in the Door Schedule with the name that you have assigned under the Label column, and the description as a mulled unit.

Joe_Carrick Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Alan, This is IMO more a question of how the Door and Window are going to be ordered and installed. If it's going to be made as a single unit then mull it and have it in the Door Schedule. To get to the hardware & other details you can select the mulled unit and tab to get to the embedded door or window which you can then open. If it's going to be 2 separate pieces just installed in a single opening then don't mull it and the 2 items will be in different Schedules. You can always add notes in the comments of the component dbx so the contractor will understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I just like the way it looks in elevation when the items are mulled. But I prefer the detail in the schedules as separate items. Even if the item is ordered as a mulled unit it still needs door hardware and the details for the door should show. I will have to un-mull then for schedule clairity Thanks for the input.

Joe_Carrick Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It would be nice if there was an option to have mulled units show as individual components in Schedules. Another feature that would be cool would be to have the geometry of mulled units (trim, etc) without actually having the "mulled" blocking.

Go to Label tab, and select "show component labels." The schedule will match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Emery Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 You can show individual component labels for a block or mull. It's under the label tab of the window DBX. This is also possible with doors, and cabinets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 That's what I was looking for Thanks PS I guess you must set this for each grouped mulled unit. i.e. some units are two or three mulled units deep, so as you build them each LABEL tab needs to be adjusted. OK looking for the default to change so it is done for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Alan, Since there are no Defaults for Mulled Units - you should send that in as a suggestion. Without it being requested/suggested it might never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Done. Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
