My problems are;

1. Three types of curtain wall is not visible in one of my working file. only the first type is visible.

2. In the project browser, structural plans has been added which includes the floor levels of the building. There is also floor plans which has all the floor levels.

 

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure I understand the issues you wrote. Can you please elaborate more on the problems you are facing, and include images if they would help explain the problems?

Here are my initial responses:

  1. You will need to load the Curtain Wall types into the project or create them as new types.
    1. For the former, open a project which includes the desired Curtain Wall types, then go to the project into which you want to load them. Use the Transfer Project Standards tool on the Manage tab, click "Check None", then select only Curtain Wall Types in the list, then click OK. All Curtain Wall types from the background project will load into the active project.
    2. For the latter option, use the Edit Type button on the Properties palette, then configure the settings to what you want.
  2. Your second item is comprised of two statements. Yes, levels are used in both structural and architectural floor plan views. What is your question about this?

1. I tried to open other new project files in revit but the three types of curtain wall has been displayed. But the project now, I am working does not display.

2. As the project includes structural beams and columns, because of which I think the structural plan has been added to the project browser. I thought might be because of this curtain wall has not been displayed.

Thank you for reply.

  1. Follow what I said in the previous post and you will either load in or create new curtain wall types. See the image below.Transfer Project StandardsTransfer Project Standards
  2. To create a new structural plan, go to your View tab on the ribbon, then in the Create panel, click Plan Views and a drop-down menu will appear. Click "Structural Plan", and in the menu which pops up, select the level for which you want a structural plan view. You may need to uncheck "Do not duplicate existing views" at the bottom of the window for the level you want to appear. See the image below. (A curtain wall type has no relation to a structural plan view.)
