I also vote that you make yourself a new door family.

 

It's fun, it's good exercise, and it's loaded with nutrients.

The default Libraries are (in my opinion) really just a "starter for 10", something to get you going with the software. In most cases you are going to be modifying these generic families to suit your own requirements. 

Kind regards,

Your response was lame.  I have the same problem, I cannot find a particular door, yes I can add one but it’s for my class, so I can’t just add any door, it has to be the revit door.  So your response doesn’t apply to all.

And I have found that I have been taught to add the door, then the sidelines separately, those are two different items that you “load from family libraries”.  Hope that helps.

Nope. Doesn't help at all.

There are several of us on this forum that have been using Revit professionally, on a daily basis, to produce documentation for actual construction projects, for a living, for a decade or more.

 

You know what we get here sometimes? We get a gym teacher or something telling us he's been assigned to teach Revit, and he's got beginner level questions. So I don't think you ought to come on here and tell us, "The teacher of my class said so!"

 

For example...if you are going to purchase sidelites separately, like from a window supplier, then you would probably use separate families for them. But it is common that a door/hardware supplier offers complete single units that have sidelites already built in, and in this case you would probably want to modify or create a door family that represents what you're actually going to use. Now you can nest families within each other, for example to create a door with windows on each side that will still schedule properly, so you only have to place the one family but the result is as if you had placed both, but that's a bit higher up on the learning curve, and you need to know how that works before you can decide if that's the best solution or not.

 

Did your teacher tell you any of that? Or did he just lay down an iron rule that if you want a door with sidelites you should load separate families? And when you say it has to be THE revit door...do you mean you've been told to use a specific door family that's missing from your library, or do you mean that you're supposed to use A revit door family, as opposed to a generic model family, or as opposed to just drawing in a door with the annotation/detailing tools? Because the suggestion to add one is talking about finding or making a revit door family that suits. So it applies.

The original posters question is a bit vague - does she/he need a door which is not part of the standard Revit families or is the course actually asking for a standard family to be loaded, which can't be found.
So don't want to judge if "just add your own" is helpfull.

I have the problem that an official tutorial from autodesk 
https://www.autodesk.com/certification/learn/course/revit-3d-modeling-architectural-design-professio...
says to load the family " Door-DoubleFlush_Panel.rfa" but I cab't find it on my recently fresh installed Revit.
any ideas if something went wrong on my installation, the tutorial is rubish, something has changed in the 2022 Revit

Thanks

Tobi

I think I actually found the solution myself.
It looks like at some point Autodesk decided to move all the supplied families to the cloud.
So instead of loading them with the button "load family" within the door tool you now have to load them from the cloud in the "insert" ribbon.

A bit a shame that Autodesk doesn't realise these problem (the tutorial has been recommended by Autodesk email just 

last week)
And why has no one at Autodesk thought that it might be an idea to also update the load family button in the door tool

You have the option to download the content libraries and insert them using your preferred methods.

Where would I find the download?
(I am beginning to learn - so far with online tutorials, as our retailer only has a class available at the end of February)

Did you install the Content Pack? It's a separate install.

Not sure.
I installed Revit before Christmas from the download you get on Autodesk Account webpage.
Normally I click every useful option in a setup (UK content I would have clicked if offered)
Or is the content a separate download? (I can't see any in the list of available items of the design collection)
If it is part of the main Revit install how would I check/install if not already done?

You must have missed the option.
