manufacturer's profiles for curtain walls?

[gester]

hi,

is it somehow possible to use certain manufacturer's profiles for the curtain wall frames?

if not, how is it possible to reference the particular products for bim takeoffs, concerning the curtain walls?

thx,

rob

Hi,

I have found that some manufacturers will produce some of their own extrusions but most will use a propriety extrusion to make up their suite. So under the banner of "X" curtain wall system may be 20 components from different suppliers.

Haven't worked on a project where the take offs are done but it must be done.

Maybe someone can shed some light on how the bim takeoff works for Curtain Walls
