I am completely confused by the Default multidiscipline template in Revit 2024:
Generally:
Ultimately my question is:
- Is Revit intending us users to use a specific workflow when we are Structural Engineers or Architects? in that case which is it? (when I want a wall between L1 and L2, how am I supposed to do it, in which view, and with which settings? Depth? Height?)
- or is it all just a bunch of default settings for various commands and wall types that the Revit development team did not bother to set in a coherent manner (to support/guide/hint a specific workflow), because there is no coherence intended, and us users are just supposed to change the settings however we see fit for our specific intention?

Looks like the L2 - Structural View was created using the Structural Framing Template. Create a new one and set the Template to "none" - or choose another Template - or create your own.
You can model walls and columns using Depth or Height. The reason you see Depth or Height as the default is because the last element that was modeled before saving the template was done in that way. Meaning that if you draw a wall or column with Height, the next wall or column will have that choice as the default.
The new "multi-discipline" template in Revit 2024 has something for all the disciplines. I prefer to use the separate templates that we had before, one per discipline. If you prefer that, you can copy your templates from Revit 2023 or previous, to your 2024 templates folder, and use a specific template for your discipline.
Thanks for the hint. But that still leaves open questions for me:
Templates do not represent a direction "by Autodesk". They are just a starting point, to help you save time setting up views. But you can choose to delete those preloaded templates and use your own. Or use the individual templates by disciplines from previous versions.
You know, if you are setting up View Templates from scratch, I would go about it a little differently. I wouldn't bother setting up VTs before you start a new Project, I'd create View Templates - from specific Views - as your Project progresses and you decide what needs to be templated. If you already have VTs in other versions, then bring them into 2024. I think @Alfredo_Medina mentioned this above.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the replies. This helps me out a lot. Everything in here is useful info for me (I have been on and off using/learning Revit as various demo versions since years, but never really using it professionally and consistently, and therefore I still feel like a noob struggling with the basics of wall joins... :D).
I guess there are 2 underlying topics in this thread:
1. I feel that I need some explanations about how the default template is set-up and how to use it. I think it still holds true that one sets up a template to enable a certain workflow, and to make certain aspects of the design work more comfortable. By extension, the default template is probably set-up by Autodesk to enable a specific workflow, I'm wondering what that workflow is.
I do not find any explanation about it in the Revit support section: what is changed compared to the templates from previous versions (e.g. those filters in the V/G of the Structural template are pretty deep settings... undocumented...), how one might take advantage of those template features? Also none of the "what's new in Revit" videos on YT mention anything about this.
2. The topics about how to model the walls (structural vs Architectural, Height vs. Depth) basically goes in the same direction of being ONE specific (out of many others) workflow question that I am trying to answer for myself: "What is the correct workflow to model walls?" but this is just a particular case of point 1.
I think you are going about this with some misunderstandings.
The view templates and a lot of the content that comes with Revit is just examples of what can be done. They are not meant to dictate workflows. You can use these examples as a basis of setting up your standards but they will likely need at least some modifications to suit your needs. Instead of trying to figure out what you see as Autdesk suggesting specific workflows, figure out how to set these things up for yourself. Once you learn that, you will be able to modify these things so that they work for you instead of you modifying workflows to fit a generic mold.
