Missing (Draw) panel

[Anonymous]

Hi

I don't have long experience in Revit. I downloaded a Revit file from internet containing a drawing. When I tried to draw a wall, door , reference line ...etc. I noticed that (Draw) panel is missing? How can I get it back?
For information, this panel exists in the Revit Editor when I try do draw my own drawing or a new drawing.
Thanks

If you know any explanation for what happened, I'll be greatful, that will help me to solve such problem in the future.

Thanks again

Make sure you have the latest service pack installed. If you machine has had .Net upgraded to 4.5 (which Revit 2014 and other more recent programs require), there will be issues with the contextual ribbons/panels that can be resolved by installing the latest service pack.

From the images you posted, you appear to have the "one box" version of Revit (Arch, Structure & MEP in one program), so you will want this version of SP3:

Hi,
you mentioned before an interesting point. It's about (cycling through the ribbon )? but how? I tried to klick the last title of the ribbon or press and drag it but nothing changed.
As you see in my attached pictures there is no such possibility, like arrow for instance, to do such action. Can you give more explanation? Here I am asking about the principal if I face such problem.
thanks

See attached image to cycle through the ribbon states.

This method is only a temporary fix, as mentioned, you need to install the service pack to solve your issue.

Thanks for your kindly response.
I did already this kind of cycling.
the problem is already solved as I mentioned before. But I tried to inform if I face such problem in the future. And I'll install the service pack.
thanks again

How to retrieve back the Draw Panel

[ToanDN]

There is no Draw panel.  You are looking at an outdated tutorial.  Use panels provided in recent Revit versions.
