Autodesk Revit Architecture

[#1]

hey guys . I just want to ask you . After I installed my Revit Architecture 2012 and I open it

It always say "Default Template File Invalid"
bla bla bla
like on this pict

Can you guys help me out ?
I'm browsing to my computer and I don't find any file that *.rte anywhere

[#2]

Have the same problem.. what to do?

[#3]

Same problem here,

Two solutions:

1) use RST 2011 template

2) Open the default project and save as template.

But still the question remains, from where to download the 2012 templates?

[#4]

If I use the Revit Architecture 2011 template, will it work perfectly ? Will the program crash or not ?
and where I can download Revit Architecture 2011's template ? Can you give me the link ?
because I'm confused (-.-)"

yes, why autodesk doesn't give the Revit Architecture 2012's templates. They just make us confused of that template

btw, I've downloaded the Revit Architecture 2011 Imperial Template

can this default.rte be the right one for my template for now ?

Look for the Templates at the following location: C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/RAC2012/Templates/Canada

There I found four, two of them default.  Hope it helps.

OK I need links to download metric templates, please.  I'd prefer not to have to download - bandwith issues - so if it is hidden somewhere on the installation disk...

Please also tell me where to place them so they can be picked up as default  - in C:/Program Data or somewhere else?

It's OK for people who had 2011 before, but what about those who don't have 2011 on their computers?

[#7]

the same problem for me, I am not able to start working with revit, I am sure that it will help a lot for my studies, but from where get all the templates, and doors, windows, wall predefined models?

You could go through uninstall > add or remove components and adding some other libraries which were missed during installation.

thanks for the answer. So it means, that normally in the student version of Revit Architecture 2012 libraries and templates should be included? It was my mistake that I install it wrong?

It usually installs alright, but sometimes the content libraries don't install. For 2011 and years before, you can download the libraries from http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=13192741. For 2012, just go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Revit Architecure 2012 -> Change/Remove. Once in there, you should be able to add components to your install, such as the content libraries.
