How do you create additional door and window sizes in a project?

Select the required door or window and duplicate it in type properties

To create additional door and window sizes in a Revit project, the process of selecting the required door or window and duplicating it in the type properties is essential. When you duplicate a door or window type, you create a new type that maintains the original's parameters but allows you to modify the dimensions and other characteristics without altering the original element. This ensures that you can customize the sizes according to your project’s requirements while keeping the integrity of the existing elements intact. By duplicating a type, you can easily specify new dimensions, materials, and other properties specific to your new door/window size, enabling a workflow that is efficient and organized. In contrast, manually editing the dimensions of existing sizes could lead to unintended alterations to the original elements. Loading different families may require additional effort in terms of finding appropriate families, and redefining sizes in project settings typically pertains to parametric settings rather than specific element creation. Thus, duplicating from type properties is the most effective and streamlined approach for creating new sizes for doors and windows.
