Panel Double Glazing
param parameter in group Model Properties
This parameter is only intended for scheduling and doesn't change the visual representation of the panel glazing.
Glass Area
param parameter in group Analysis Results
A calculated parameter intended for scheduling, representing the total area of glass, taking Width, Height, Frame Width Left, Frame Width Right, Frame Width Bottom, Frame Width Top, Panel Spacing, Panel Frame Width Sides, Panel Frame Width Bottom, and Panel Frame Width Top into account.
Calculate Glass Area
param parameter in group Analysis Results
Revit doesn't support reading values from nested families, which means that the bi-fold door family doesn't know if the set Panel Family has a glass or not. This parameter allows you to manually set if you want the Glass Area to be calculated for this type. That's useful if you have a door schedule with mixed doors with frame and full panel.
Opening Area
param parameter in group Analysis Results
A calculated parameter intended for scheduling, representing the total clear opening when panels are fully open, taking Width, Height, Frame Width Left, Frame Width Right, Frame Width Bottom, Frame Width Top, Panel Spacing, and Panel Thickness into account.
